The only way to really understand our connection to the land is by gathering and/or processing our own food. In this class, students will process a goat or sheep. We will use mostly modern tools, but compare with more ancient ones like stone and bone. We will use every part of the animal, leaving no waste behind, with the understanding that each part serves a function and that by putting the whole animal to use we are honoring the life of the animal. This is a very hands-on educational class with experienced, ethical teachers. Students will collectively divide up all of the animal parts and meat to take home with them.
