The Primal Harvest
What to ExpectPrimal Harvest is an immersive, small-group field-to-table gathering rooted in the full arc of the hunt—from the stillness of the woods to the shared meal at the table.
Over several days on a working horse farm in rural Ohio, participants are guided through the ethical harvest of whitetail deer, learning not just how to hunt, process, and prepare game, but how to do so with patience, humility, and respect.

❋ Shooting skillsShot placement, recovery, and field dressing
❋ Game meat processingWhole-animal butchery: breaking down a deer with care and efficiency
❋ Fine DiningEach day closes not with instruction, but with nourishment. Guests are served thoughtfully prepared, fine-dining–level meals built around wild game and seasonal ingredients—meals that honor the animal by using it well, not hiding it.
Field-to-Table
Evenings are spent in a restored log cabin built in 1802, warmed by wood heat and conversation. The cabin sits on a historic horse farm—quiet, working land where rhythms still matter. There is space here for story, reflection, and rest.
“Eating with the fullest pleasure—pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance—is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world." - Wendell Berry
Who is this for?
Primal Harvest is for those who want to move beyond abstraction:
Beyond “farm-to-table” as a slogan
Beyond hunting as conquest or content
Beyond consuming food without relationship
No prior hunting experience is required. Only a willingness to learn, to be patient, and to participate fully.
