about us

our story

We believe in understanding where our food comes from, respecting the animal, and reducing waste by using every part possible. Through hands-on experiences we give people the confidence and knowledge to prepare quality local produce at home. Our goal is to keep traditional butchery skills alive while inspiring the next generation of home cooks, hunters and farmsteaders to become more self-sufficient.
