WHAT TO EXPECT:

Class is 2 and a half to three hours, depending on how inquisitive your group is. Class sizes are typically 30-40 people. The first and last part of class is held outdoors under our covered portico, so dress appropriately for the day's weather. The middle part of the class is held inside our cutting room, which is kept at approximately 45 degrees. We turn off the refrigeration unit fans during class to increase the comfort level. You may wish to bring a light jacket, but most people find that portion of the class to be a nice reprieve from the heat during summertime! Please note that to join us in the butcher’s cutting room, students must wear closed toe, non-slip shoes (heels, slick or leather soles will absolutely not be allowed), and long hair must be pulled back.
