Local Mobile Poultry Processing Unit (MPPU)
April 20, 2015
Dayle Ohlau spoke to valley resident and Community Builder Cynthia Luck Carr recently about efforts to bring a local mobile poultry processing unit (MPPU) to the Wood River Valley – – the first in Idaho. Cynthia is also a Holistic Health Counselor, Life Coach, and Professional Educator. The Q&A with Cynthia is posted below.

Why an MPPU?
So, the MPPU will help the local consumer and the local farmer?
How close is our valley to securing a MPPU?
Are local restaurants interested this project?
Where will we be able to buy the locally processed chicken?
How big is a local processing unit?
How is the MPPU being funded?
How can folks get involved who would like to help with the project?
