Between the pig and bacon is the knife. I fully admit active ignorance on the trip between stinky, though charming in a way, animals on the hoof, and tasty fire-forged umami proteins. Camas Davis is the opposite. She founded the Portland Meat Collective to transparently relate the two. The Portland Meat Collective connects local farmers of livestock to individuals who would like to learn breaking down a carcass into cuts of meat, hands-on butchery, and if you like, onto charcuterie. Her work complements that of Temple Grandin.
This morning Davis recounts her journey in founding the Portland Meat Collective. It has already expanded to Eugene and Olympia. She has a plan for nationwide meat collectives that are well underway.
Tickets are no longer available for her talk, but the video will soon be available on the Creative Mornings website. Camas Davis from the Portland Meat Collective sponsored by Portland Creative Mornings at Ziba Design Auditorium www.ziba.com 810 NW Marshall Map Doors 8:30AM, talk 9. Free
