Mobile Poultry Processing Unit

The Community Agricultural Development Center in collaboration with WSU Stevens County Extension received a grant from Washington State Department of Agriculture to design, build and test a mobile poultry processing unit.  This unit has been used in both Stevens and Ferry counties and was approved by WSDA for use.

The poultry grower needs to obtain a water sample, a food processing license, and an inspection from WSDA Food Safety Department for approved use on the farm.  These requirements are quite easy to meet and WSU Stevens County Extension will work with the grower meet these regulations.  The Extension Office can be reached at 509 684-2588 or by email at extensionstevens@wsu.edu

Training Event:  Training on how to use the unit will be held May 5, 2005 at the Paul Dye ranch.  Please contact the Extension Office for details.  Users of the unit must attend a training session to be eligible for on farm use.
