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.

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 »
