Zeph Shepard | Proletariat


Zeph Shepard is the Owner and Head Butcher Proletariat in Portland, Oregon. The team at Proletariat's goal is to create a deeper sense of agrarian utilitarianism via education on practices of slaughtering, butchering, and curing of meat. These are methods to an informed and tactile means of self-provision, helping others appreciate the food we use to sustain ourselves and the earth. Thus, we began on a journey of all things meat, embracing the delicate reciprocity of a balanced life, providing thrift and goodness for ourselves, and assisting others with the ability to do so in their own lives.
