VTSU-Randolph Launches State-of-the-Art Meat Lab with Hands-On Butchery Trainings
Vermont State University–Randolph is proud to announce the grand opening of its brand-new, state-of-the-art Meat Lab—The 1787 Butchery. Designed to support immersive, hands-on learning, this facility marks an exciting step forward in agricultural and food science education.
To celebrate the launch, VTSU-Randolph is offering two upcoming two-day butchery trainings open to public registration. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, these trainings provide a unique opportunity to learn the art of meat cutting from a professional.
Led by Elizabeth Roma of Roma’s Butchery, each session includes in-depth instruction and hands-on experience breaking down meat. Participants will leave with a portion of the meat they prepare, along with an entry-level meat cutting knife.
