  • "This was a first for us. The idea of butchering one of our own sheep seemed daunting. We were lucky to find Andrew. His demeanor was calm; he led the process with great skill and empathy towards animals as well as humans.

    — Conny, Local Baker and Homesteader

  • "Awesome workshop today with Andrew Magazine. If you are a hobbyist, restauranteur, or farmer Andrew offers some great classes on processing proteins! He has a great heart, good teaching manner, and loves promoting sustainable farming and homesteading.

    — Skip Middleton, Western North Carolina Connoisseur

  • "I highly recommend attending as many of Andrew's butchery classes as possible. His deep reverence for animal welfare and respect for tradition sets the tone for his informative and light-hearted classes. His hands on style of teaching and warm personality helped me feel comfortable and capable doing something I've always felt intimidated by- especially as a woman."
