Squamish Butchering Workshop

with EatWild

In partnership with

Learn how to butcher with EatWild! A comprehensive butchering workshop so you can build the confidence and skills needed to butcher an animal from the field to the table properly.

Join Indigenous Women Outdoors for a cultural workshop designed to hone your butchering skills. From field care techniques to breaking down an animal, carving classic cuts, and using butcher tools, EatWild will help you become confident in meat processing.

In the first half of the workshop, we review field care techniques and we show you how to break down the animal into manageable size pieces so it can be transported back to camp.

In the second half of the workshop, we show you how to butcher the large pieces into meal-size offerings such as steaks, roasts, stew and burger.

Details:

  • When: June 18
  • Time: 6-9 PM
  • Where: Alice Lake Longhouse, Squamish
    • On the unceded territory of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw

Additional Description: 

Using a hog, we will demonstrate two separate techniques for breaking down an animal. A professional butcher will lead our group through a traditional butchers approach to the butchering of an animal using a butchers tools and techniques. You’ll learn how to butcher an animal into classic cuts, such as steaks, roasts and burger.

An experienced hunter from EatWild will demonstrate a traditional hunters approach to butchering an animal in the field. This will give students a practical approach to butchering with limited tools and supplies. This is a great opportunity to learn how you can butcher in your own kitchen!
