Field to Fork: Butchery Basics & Knife Skills with Sierra Jepsen of Butcher Solutions

In this episode of the Soul Summit Podcast we have an insightful episode featuring Sierra Jepsen, founder of Butcher Solutions. Sierra is a mobile butcher and meat scientist from Three Forks, Montana, who’s on a mission to educate hunters about field processing and sustainable meat practices.

Sierra shares practical insights for handling game meat, from the moment it’s on the ground to preparing it in your kitchen.
