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.

Join the team behind the Good Meat Breakdown, a soon-to-be-launched website and movement building campaign, to explore tools that can help educate your customers, expand your market, and inspire an inclusive, cohesive, and growing Good Meat movement.

We will be giving attendees an early preview of our website; explaining the resources we’ve created; and seeking input from the producer community on what tools we should build next in service of the farmers, ranchers, and brands that drive transparent, responsible, regional food systems across the country. Presented by the Good Meat Project, Western Landowners Alliance, Women in Ranching, Carman Ranch, Grassfed Alliance, Armonia, and TomKat Ranch.
