In 2009, Camas Davis, a ten-year veteran magazine editor and food and travel writer, traveled to Gascony in southwest France to study the art of butchery and charcuterie with a family of pig farmers and butchers. Upon her return she founded the Portland Meat Collective, a one-of-a-kind meat school and culinary resource that has changed the way citizens of Portland, Oregon, think about their food, their community, and their local meat economy. In 2014, Davis launched the Good Meat Project a nonprofit whose mission is to build pathways to responsible meat production and consumption for consumers, producers, and culinary professionals. Camas continues to write about her experiences in the world of meat, and is the author of Killing It: An Education. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
