Nose-to-Tail 2 Day Butchering Class | Friday June 23 – Saturday June 24, 2023


  • Eastern Shore Food Lab 236 Cannon Street Chestertown United States (map)

Two days of animal heaven! Might be the perfect Father’s Day Gift??

We start the class Friday night (5:00PM) in the Eastern Shore Food Lab Teaching Kitchen discussing the importance of:

  • home butchering,

  • sourcing high quality animals,

  • how to talk to your butcher,

  • and the tools, equipment, safety, and practicality of home butcheringAll this while feasting on 100% scratch made sourdough pizzas straight from our wood fired oven!  After dinner and a deep discussion, we head downstairs to the MSAK kitchen and begin the process of breaking down a pig into its primal cuts..

Saturday begins with coffee, breakfast sandwiches at 9:00AM, and a discussion about the various directions the primal can be taken.  Together, we will then turn the previous night’s primals into:

  • ham,

  • bacon,

  • fresh sausage, and

  • pork rinds.

All participants will leave with the recipes and knowledge to replicate this process in their home kitchens!
