Livestock and Poultry

Are you interested in raising animals as a farm enterprise?

New Entry's livestock and poultry programs are designed to help farmers of varying experience levels profitably and sustainably raise and sell meat, eggs, milk, and fiber, with an emphasis on pasture-based systems.

New Entry partners with the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to host a series of Livestock and Poultry Field Schools covering poultry, sheep, goats, swine, and beef cattle. These workshops offer hands-on practical skills training, with topics ranging from animal health and nutrition to regulations and meat marketing.

We also work to help small-scale poultry farmers find legal, affordable poultry processing options. New Entry manages the Eastern Massachusetts Mobile Poultry Processing Unit (MPPU) and provides training and regulatory and technical assistance for on-farm poultry processing in Massachusetts, New England and beyond.

The Livestock Institute of Southern New England also hosts seminars and workshops for producers. Learn more here.
