Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:09:14 -0600
It's fresh, it's organic, and it's free - workshop on how to use roadkill
If you are looking for some creative ways to feed your family on a
budget, yet want quality, wholesome food, consider attending this
workshop. We will be teaching how to judge the edibility of a dead
animal on the road and guide you through the experience of skinning and
cleaning. Techniques for cooking and drying the meat also presented.
Discussion and demonstration of using all parts of a deer (and other
animals) including the skins, antlers, sinews, etc. Class will be 2 - 4
hours depending on what everyone brings in on their way to class. Get
up early that morning and see what you can find. Class will be held
outdoors (a covered barn) and is a hands-on experience so dress
appropriately and bring a sharp knife (hopefully at least one of us will
find something that morning). Cost is $35 per student. Size will be
limited. Starts at 9 am on Sunday Dec. 6, 2009. Location is about an
hour drive SE of Austin. To register, look under the 'workshops' tab of
www.backyardfoodproduction.com.
The workshop will be led by Red Louvish who is a professional brain
tanner living in the Austin, TX area. A strong interest in free food
led to a specialization in roadkill processing, and a growing supply of
deer hides got him interested in brain tanning. His other work as a
courier provides a natural compatibility with finding and using animals
on the road. Red teaches roadkill processing and advanced brain tanning
techniques at the Rabbitstick and Wintercount primitive skills gatherings.
