About the instructors:
Camas Davis in an Oregon native who, for the past decade, has been an editor and writer for magazines such as National Geographic Adventure, Saveur and Portland Monthly. In 2009, she was able to secure a butchery and charcuterie internship in the fertile southwest region of France. It was there that she began her journey into the world of raising, cutting, and curing meat. When she returned to Portland, Camas wanted to keep learning and practicing butchery, but still couldn’t find such opportunities. So she decided to start the Portland Meat Collective, which offers traveling butchery classes and is creating a meat CSA that helps consumers buy their meat directly from small Oregon farms.
