Work With Me

Whole animal and wild game butchery is a craft struggling to survive in a culture of convenience.

​

As development continues to encroach on wild spaces, animals lose habitat. The habitat that remains can become overpopulated, and animals suffer. Hunting, when practiced as a tool of conservation, plays an important role in the health of our ecosystems.

​

Butchers are an essential link in the chain from death to sustenance, but they are disappearing from the culinary landscape.

​

Wild game is where the craft of whole animal butchery and hunting work hand in hand to steward the wild animals we eat. I offer the opportunity to work in and learn a craft that needs passion, creativity, and dedication in order to continue.

​

This opportunity is ideal for culinary professionals who want to:

• Expand their knowledge base

• Explore a new area of the food world

• Learn about hunting through the lens of conservation

• Gain hands-on experience in whole animal and wild game butchery

​

This is a full-time, paid seasonal employment opportunity running from September through late February. Housing is not provided but short-term rentals are abundant in the area.

​

I practice bespoke butchery, meaning each hunter receives a tailored experience. The shop is located in Comfort, a small town in the Hill Country of Texas.

The work includes:

• Skinning

• Butchery

• Sausage making

• Product presentation

• ​

Reach out and connect. Interviews begin in August, final decisions are made in September, and work starts in October.
