Learn. Process. Grow With Confidence.
Hands-on farmstead learning and future rabbit availability from Wandering Shepherd Farmstead in Brooksville, Florida.
We believe people should understand where their food comes from, how much care goes into raising animals, and what responsible small-scale processing actually looks like. This page is for local farmstead learning opportunities and upcoming availability. Everything is limited, scheduled, and handled directly with us.

Hands-on learning for homesteaders and small farms
Our chicken processing classes are designed for people who want to learn the basics of small-scale poultry processing in a real farmstead setting.

- Scalding and plucking basics
- Evisceration overview
