As well as the preparation, we will also cover why we might need to cull some animals for the benefit of ecosystems, welfare of the animal itself and local livelihoods. These sessions are very much about learning and information, we are not here to tell people what they should and shouldn’t be eating…there is enough of that kind of thing already and none of it is particularly useful.

What are The Exmoor Game School sessions all about?
Essentially re-connecting children with their food and where it comes from and how it links to farming on Exmoor. With our roots in education both mainstream and special education - we have seen how empowering and of course fun, it can be for children to learn how to prepare and cook their own food.
This session will look at the preparation and eating of seasonal, local game that is available to us depending on the time of year - this might be using small fur and feathered game like pheasant and rabbits and/or squirrels or larger game such as deer.

These sessions will involve the use of knifes, fire/stoves and we will be skinning, gutting and butchering game animals. It is a necessary part of the learning process and we do it with the utmost respect for the quarry we're eating. The children can get as involved as they like or watch and learn, there is absolutely no pressure for them to do anything.
These sessions are free, although donations are most welcome and really help make these sessions sustainable going forward.
All children MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
These sessions are super popular and book up quickly - we do operate a waiting/reserve list but this is ONLY for the session in question. We just don’t have admin capacity to roll it over.
