Slow Food RVA spent some time this month with Hands Across RVA's Teen Impact camp, introducing the students to Slow Meat and visiting JM Stock Provisions, a new butcher located in the Harvest market at Main & Lombardy. James Lum gave us a fantastic lecture on sustainable meat as we watched him break down a Berkabow hog.
Dear Friends,A
