Guest Post by Matthew Hranek, photographer; creator, The William Brown Project This summer, my wife and I didn't enroll my daughter 7-year-old daughter Clara in any kind of traditional camp. We were traveling a lot and there were only a few weeks where we'd have to fill large blocks of time. Plus, Clara's usually pretty good about entertaining herself -- until one afternoon last month. She was getting a little restless and I had a lot to get done in the kitchen, so I decided to involve her in the process...and call it Meat Camp. I have been raising pigs for our own consumption at our place in the Catskills for six years now, and it's been important for me to teach Clara about all aspects of meat, from how to raise the animals sustainably and consciously, to how we can use close to every bit of the animal if we're clever about it.
