- Supervising, coordinating and scheduling your team, who process, package, test and grade the premium foods and beverages created by Hopcott Farms
- Personally training staff and managing their safety
- Active daily facility and equipment inspection and ensuring compliance with food safety and production compliance, and ‘best practice’ standards

- Humane slaughter of livestock using air-compressed devices and cutting tools
- Skinning, cleaning and trimming
- Removal of inedible parts
