Lâche Pas Boucherie
to
Grand Coteau, La Grand Coteau, Louisiana 70541
In an immersive experience of the old Louisiana way, the Lâche Pas Boucherie—to be held in historic Grand Coteau—invites locals and visitors alike to come together in the tradition of community labor and celebration surrounding the harvest of an animal. Over the course of three days, participants (invited to camp on the grounds) will learn about and observe the strategies of farming, harvesting, preparing, and preserving live animals with a sense of honor and appreciation for the nourishment they offer. There will also be panel discussions, live music, local spirits, and lots of good eating. Guests are encouraged to bring home cooked foodstuffs to contribute to the communal table, as well as their own utensils. $75 per day; $150 for the whole weekend. boucherielachepas.com.
