Belcampo, a pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished and Certified Humane meats, broths and jerky, has released its 2021 Meat Camp dates. These immersive culinary experiences are designed to give campers a behind-the-scenes look at regenerative farming practices while learning the fundamentals of butchery and open-fire grilling in a COVID-19 safe outdoor setting at the Belcampo Estate in Gazelle, California.
Attendees will enjoy farm-to-table meals and beverages coming straight from Belcampo’s farms with mini workshops and cooking sessions taught by Belcampo’s farm staff and chefs. 
“Our Meat Camps are hands-on immersive culinary experiences that give our guests the chance to experience nature at the heart of our regenerative and organic ranch,” said Anya Fernald, co-founder of Belcampo. “After the year we’ve all had, we can’t wait to bring campers back to the farm to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they won’t get anywhere else.”
Belcampo is offering two all-inclusive Meat Camps in 2021: Sept. 3-5 and Sept. 24-26. Each retreat offers more than 30 campers of all experience levels a thorough understanding of meat cookery with a focus on open-fire grilling. Attendees can take part in a variety of lessons, from butchery fundamentals to basic knife skills and successful sustainable farming methods on Belcampo Farms. The camps are hosted by Fernald, with her teaching some lessons and others taught by Belcampo master butchers.
With this opportunity to explore regenerative farming and what it means to farm “The Belcampo Way,” participants will indulge in family-style meals and farm-style beverages curated by Belcampo chefs using the company’s organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed and -finished meats. Each day ends with camping underneath the stars in one of 12 canvas tents set in the farm’s serene orchard,.
Belcampo is building a supply chain that produces meat with Certified Humane, organic, regenerative and climate-positive farming practices resulting in healthier meat products. Belcampo’s animals are raised on its own USDA Certified Organic farms in California (on 30,000 acres of pristine farmland) using Certified Humane and regenerative farming techniques, and from the farmers in its partner farm program. Through this program, partner farms are given the tools, education and market opportunities to transition to a more sustainable, humane and regenerative model of agriculture, including Certified Humane animal handling and processing and USDA Organic Certification.
