Join us for our first field trip.

Fresh Pasture Farms is a family-owned farm offering local access to pasture raised poultry, eggs, pork and 100% grass fed and finished beef. During our homesteading field trip, we'll tour the farm store and the farm chicken processing area to learn how to successfully process your own chicken. The Sutter family will also share more about:

• Brooder and chick care management (from chick to pasture)
• Portable field shelters for layers, broilers, ducks, and turkeys
• An overview of pasture pork
• Woodland management with goats
• Pasture management with 100% grass fed and finished cattle

The field trip is limited to 50 participants and we ask that you register so we can provide an accurate count. Transportation ins not provided. Visit go.illinois.edu/HomesteadingFieldTrip or call (618) 687-1727 to reserve your spot.
