Sausage making course details

It is a hands-on course for real enthusiasts. You will make a batch of sausages using our pork. It will cover basic butchery skills, information about all the ingredients and techniques used in sausage making, and finish off with tastings of what we've made. The day will also include a lunch made from our home produce and course materials for future reference. There are a maximum of 6 people on each course, so it can be adapted to what each individual wants to know, whether it be talking about pig husbandry, making a salami or a particular type of sausage. Get in touch to book your place.
