Have you ever looked at a whole chicken and thought, “I’d buy those if I knew what to do with them?”
Now’s your chance to learn.
Your Experince
Join us for a FREE, hands-on Chicken Fabrication Workshop led by local farmer and chef April Rivas of Rivas Ranch.
Whole chickens are often one of the most affordable ways to purchase chicken, but many families avoid them because they aren’t comfortable breaking them down. This workshop teaches practical skills that can help stretch grocery dollars, reduce food waste, and build confidence in the kitchen.
During this workshop you’ll learn:
- 8-piece chicken breakdown
- Chicken crown/roast
- Spatchcock chicken
- How to package your finished cuts to take home
This is a true hands-on workshop, not a demonstration. Participants will work with their own chickens throughout the class.

What you need to know
Bring whole chickens from your favorite local chicken farmer, purchase eligible whole chickens at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market using SNAP/EBT benefits, reserve fresh pasture-raised chickens from Rivas Ranch at a special workshop price, or bring whole chickens from the grocery store. The goal is simple: use whatever option works best for your family and your budget.
All tools, equipment, packaging, and instructions are provided at no charge.
Space is limited to 10 participants per workshop, so preregistration is required.
