Gather at Mess Hall to watch “Your Farmer,” Andrew Crush, break down a beautiful free range, heritage pig, raised on his own local farm (Spring House Farm, in Lovettsville, VA). During the interactive 3 hour event, Andrew will cover many butchering and farming techniques, while you indulge in beers and BBQ. Yes, you can don gloves and participate in some sausage making. Unlimited Q&A.

All attendees will go home with beautiful heritage pork from the evening with tips on how to prepare.

We will also host an auction at the end of the night for you to bid on premium cuts to take home after the class!
