b'On this edition of Making Oregon, we chat with Zeph Shepard, founder of Proletariat Butchery (https://proletariatbutchery.com/). Listen as we discuss the \\u201cJourney of All Things Meat,\\u201d beginning with Zeph\\u2019s fascination with a pig roast he attended when he was 15 years old. \\n\\nWe\\u2019re going to find out how Zeph\\u2019s big idea of Saving the Earth lead to becoming a butcher and opening a butcher shop, and how Zeph\\u2019s family life and his philosophical bent have led him to re-think the social and environmental impact of food, and what responsible stewardship of the planet entails. \\n\\nWe\\u2019ll also discuss how Zeph\\u2019s rationale aligns with vegans and vegetarians. We learn about his experience as an apprentice on a farm where he learned his craft, and how the idea of starting his own shop grew over time. We also unpack the name \\u201cProletariat Butchery\\u201d and its significance to Zeph.\\n\\nLastly, we also asked Zeph, a determined \\u201cdo it yourself-er\\u201d, to open up about what it means to hit your limits as a business owner and why he had to learn to ask for help and expertise that are crucial to his business.'
