Class Crafting Guanciale: Pig Head Breakdown
Location STEELPORT Knife Co. 3602 Northeast Sandy Boulevard #Suite B Portland, OR 97232
Zeph Shepard, owner and head butcher of Proletariat Butchery, developed his deep respect for utilitarianism and self-provision early in life, helping his parents with projects that emphasized responsibility and resourcefulness. Even as a child, he found joy in cooking from scratch and experimenting with ingredients, a passion that eventually evolved into the annual tradition of roasting a whole pig. His journey took a pivotal turn in 2010 while apprenticing under Brandon Sheard at Seabreeze Farm, where he learned old-world butchery techniques and discovered the beauty of working closely with food from start to finish. This experience solidified his path as a butcher and inspired the founding of Proletariat Butchery, where he now shares his craft through classes and quality meats.
We’re excited to welcome Zeph to STEELPORT on September 27th, where he’ll be breaking down a pig head and making guanciale. RSVP for a chance to win a $35 gift card to Proletariat Butchery.
