In this class, students will learn how to break a lamb into its respective, delicious parts, with instructors Adam Sappington (chef and owner of Country Cat Dinnerhouse) and French-trained Camas Davis, founder of the Portland Meat Collective. Students, who will help work on three whole lambs for the class, will find out how to tie a leg of lamb, how it is that lamb can become ham, why lamb makes merguez taste so good, and how to carve a perfect lamb “popsicle.” More »

Olympia Meat Collective Launches!

June 10th, 2013

It’s official. The Portland Meat Collective is no longer alone in the world. Olympia Meat Collective just launched their website and they’ve scheduled a few classes for July! The three guys behind OMC are, simply, awesome. Brian Wilson, James O’Keefe, and Joel Hansen and I all met just over a month ago to start discussing the Olympia Meat Collective. I gave them a long list of homework. They did their homework, well, I might add, and are ready to roll. Both Brian and Joel have taken several classes from the PMC and James has studied with Farmstead Meatsmith up on Vashon Island. Their combined skills sets are just about perfect for this Portland Meat Collective model: Brian’s marketing and public relations skills, Joel’s business management skills and vast knowledge of nutritional therapy, and James’ knowledge of farming and butchery.

April 11th, 2013

By now most of you know that we met our funding goal of $25,000 in just 15 days. Again, I’m so overwhelmed by your generosity and enthusiasm. Thank you. And thank you to those of you who continue to pledge to the campaign. This morning, in the final 3 hours of our Kickstarter campaign to help spread Meat Collectives Across America, we’re at $29, 220. We want to make it to $30,000 by 11am PST! Pledge now!

Why? Because the $25,000 funding goal that I originally set for this campaign was a very conservative budget for PHASE 1 of this Meat Collectives Across America project. And where there’s a Phase 1, there’s also a Phase 2. More »
