About the event
Workshop Overview
Join us October 8–12, 2025, for Wholehearted, a 3-day immersive butchery workshop for women, hosted at Redwing Ranch in Gardner, Colorado. This intensive experience is led by Anica Wu, founder of Bonjerk, and longtime advocate for whole-animal use and food system reconnection.
Together, we’ll break down a whole, dry-aged steer—hands-on, side by side. You’ll gain practical knife skills, a deep understanding of anatomy and cuts, and take home meat you helped process yourself.
This isn’t just about butchery—it’s about skill, grit, and connection. We’ll work hard, eat well, and build a supportive, unforgettable community of women doing something truly rare.
