Bakers: Bakers are skilled artisans who craft and offer a variety of bread and pastry products. They meticulously ensure the quality of baking ingredients, prepare equipment, measure, and weigh ingredients precisely, and blend them to perfection. From kneading and shaping dough to monitoring oven temperatures and applying delightful finishes like glazes and icings, bakers create an array of delectable treats sold in grocers, restaurants, and other food services. Some even innovate with new recipes to delight their customers.

Butchers: The tradition of butchery is rich and vital in our community. Butchers are proficient in various tasks, including the slaughter, dressing, and sale of meat and poultry. Whether employed in supermarkets, butcher shops, or self-run establishments, butchers play a crucial role in providing quality cuts of meat to consumers. In industrial settings, they may specialize in specific steps of the process, such as stunning, exsanguination, skinning, evisceration, and splitting, contributing to the efficient and humane processing of meat products. After the carcasses are chilled, unless ‘hot-boned,’ the primary butchery process involves several steps: selecting carcasses, sides, or quarters to produce primal cuts with minimal wastage; separating the primal cuts from the carcass; trimming and preparing the primal cuts for secondary butchery or sale; and finally, storing the cut meats. Secondary butchery includes boning, trimming, and adding value to primal cuts in preparation for sale. While historically both primary and secondary butchery were performed in the same establishment, advancements in preservation methods such as vacuum packing and low-cost transportation have largely led to their separation.
