Growing up in Oregon, Nathan fell in love with the outdoors and the endless opportunities available here in the PNW. After graduating from Willamette University with a degree in Environmental Science, his attention shifted to the food industry and developing sustainable food systems. He realized how important it is to be able to get high quality meat from local farmers. This started his path to a career butcher. He has worked all over the country in top restaurants and butcher shops, as well as Italy. During this time, Nathan has cultivated a high level of knowledge in all things butchery, sausages, and charcuterie. This is just the beginning of what Cascadia Meats will bring you!
