About
ProteinU
Responsible farmers across the country are raising thousands of
animals every week, and by far the most common question asked by the farmers is
— where are the chefs who breakdown whole animals? Protein University is
providing farmers and “whole animal enthusiasts” an opportunity to network in
the global food community. The mission is to create an online resource and
family tree of butchering techniques from across the globe, including protein
from lamb to salmon. Protein University promotes responsible farming and
heritage species of livestock in an effort to keep the art of the butcher
alive.
