Local Roots Experiences: Intro to Sustainable Meat

February 02, 2021

Join Local Roots team member Ansel Shipley for a virtual workshop on sustainable meat. Meet our meat farmers, learn the meaning of what truly defines “sustainable” in the meat industry, get insight into the various cuts that make up a cow, and get cooking tips from our resident meat expert.

We will email participants with a zoom link to the class the week of February 18th. 

About Ansel: 

Ansel grew up in Northern New York on a small subsistence farm steeped in sustainable organic agriculture. After moving to NYC in 2017, inspired by their upbringing around New York small farmers, they began training as a butcher at Dickson's Farmstand Meats in Chelsea Market. Ansel spent several years honing their craft at Fleishers Craft Butchery and managed the Brooklyn shop from 2019-2020. In June of 2020 they joined the Local Roots team as the Operations Team Lead where they manage the warehouse staff packing the markets and home delivery boxes.
