We are a hands-on meat school dedicated to reintroducing butchery into the home kitchen. We are part of a growing movement that believes in local, sustainably raised meat. Help us create a community of like-minded home cooks, chefs, and artisans committed to local agriculture and better meat.
Hands-on Classes and Demos
The heart of the Chicago Meat Collective’s mission is to be a resource for home cooks learning to source and butcher whole animals. Our hands-on classes and demos cover a range of butchery skills from learning to break down a chicken to butchering a whole lamb.
Consulting
An understanding of whole animal butchery and whole carcass utilization can open the door to better margins and help your business stand out from the crowd, whether you’re in the slaughter and processing sector, running an artisanal butcher shop, managing a restaurant kitchen, or raising your own animals for meat.
