DEATH FOR FOOD
DATE: November 23, 2014
LOCATION: Suzie's Farm
COST: $150-300
Come to Suzie's Farm and experience the roving food reconnection project, Death For Food.
Share a family-style farm feast by some of the region's top chefs and drink makers with a range of notable speakers. Bring home a biodynamic Thanksgiving turkey or a "Label Rouge" style French heritage chicken and learn about humane animal harvest with a halal style lamb harvest and butchery demonstration.
"A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one's accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes. The pleasure of eating, then, may be the best available standard of our health. And this pleasure, I think, is pretty fully available to the urban consumer who will make the necessary effort."
--Wendell Berry
HARVEST
Participants will witness a Halal-style lamb harvest and butchery demonstration, learning how to humanely kill and butcher the animal, as well as how to use every part of a whole lamb. Sample freshly made, traditional lamb blood sausage and get resources for buying whole animals in San Diego.
+ CHICKEN or TURKEY
Take a 9am turkey harvest class or a 10:30am chicken harvest class in the Suzie's eucalyptus grove and learn a traditional bloodletting technique designed for the easiest death and least pain for the animal. Under guidance of an instructor, kill and process your own "Label Rouge" style French heritage chicken or biodynamically-raised turkey. Made possible with support from Berkley Construction.
Participants will bring home a 4-6 lb pastured chicken or 12-16 lb pastured turkey with herbs from the Suzie's Farm and recipes from project contributors including a special "Label Rouge" chicken recipe from Chef Javier Plascencia. Bird Rock Coffee served.
