Set against the dramatic fall colors and rolling landscape of Traverse City, Michigan, this unique annual gathering, sponsored and organized by Cherry Capital Foods since 2010, fosters a greater appreciation for responsible meat production and consumption, heritage pig breeds, humane animal harvest, whole animal utilization, and traditional meat preservation. We start with live pigs and we end with bacon.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of four days, a talented group of international instructors teaches participants how to humanely slaughter an animal, how to butcher whole carcasses, and how to utilize every part for food. They learn how to transform pig bellies into bacon, legs muscles into ham, fatback into lardo, and liver into p\u00e2t\u00e9. They learn the art of salami making and the secrets to a perfect prosciutto. And in the process, they learn how to safely, successfully, and profitably incorporate these techniques into their own food-related careers.<\/p>\n<p>Good wine, delicious beer, and plenty of amazing food flow throughout the event and everyone leaves with a hefty share of good meat for their larder back home. Pigstock TC is the modern day harvest party we wish our grandparents still had.
