The butchery team at Cedarbarn Farm Shop near Pickering welcomed a cohort of butchery apprentices to its Thornton Road site recently.
The group of students from Bishop Burton College near Beverley visited as part of a study tour to give the Cranswick Country Food Butchery apprentices an extended knowledge of five butchery businesses operating in the local area.
Cedarbarn’s head butcher, Patrick Donaghy gave the group a guided tour around the butchery, counter and hanging facilities.
The visit was organised by Bishop Burton’s lead butchery assessor and IQA, Paul Nicholson, who said: “The students saw the art of displaying meat, meat products and the vast range of added value products that can be made from butchery cuts.
“One of our Advanced Butchery apprentices, Cameron McNicoll, works at Cedarbarn, and took the opportunity to deliver an overview of the business, shop displays, special offers and added value products. This insight was very beneficial for our apprentices.”
Cedarbarn Farm Shop’s Butchery is home to a team of seven who butcher and prepare home-reared beef and lamb, plus Yorkshire pork and poultry for the Farm Shop and the 80-seater Café.
