Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. Thank you for listening to Community Access. I'm
Alison Demurs, my guest this morning as Wesman Baron. He
is director of Hunt to Feed.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning, Hi, how are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm great in you, I'm great.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
For those who don't know about Hunt to Feed? How
did it come about?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Learning how to hunt? Was how I discovered that venison
can be used as a donation. The more I thought
about it, the more I realized I don't have to
be a good hunter to give back through the hunting community.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
So I looked around.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I found that Connecticut didn't have a program where we
could donate venison to make it usable as a charitable good.
I thought it was kind of a no brainer to
make a push to help people do that.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Wow, that's wonderful. Were you raised to be a hunter?
Did you pick it up later in life?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I wanted to know where my food came from, so
for me, it was always about the food and being
out in the woods. And so as I pursued hunting
and really made it part of my lifestyle, well, I
found out that I could share that with other people
through donating and helping other hunters find that same passion, and.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's how Hunt to Feed got started.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, that's how we started.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So what inspired you or your team to create a
program that connects hunting with hunger relief.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm not good at math, but I know how many
deer can fit in a freezer. For most people, it's
two deer. As an average public land hunter in Connecticut,
we can.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Buy six deer tags.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So we have a whole group of hunters out there
who are saying, I'd like to spend more time in
the woods, I'd like to hang out with my hunting buddies,
and I might have four more tags, but I have
nowhere to store that meet. With hunter Feed, we've given
those people an opportunity to go spend that time in
the woods and feel good about what they're doing with
the meat at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Wow, I love that. For listeners who may not be hunters,
how does hunter feed actually work?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So once that hunter has filled up their own freezers,
their neighbors freezers, their friends freezers, we encourage all these
hunters to continue to hunt, continue to do what they love,
spend time in the woods. At the end of the day,
they can donate that deer to hunt the feed and
feel good about what they've done.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And how big of an issue is food and security
here in Connecticut and how does donating the Venicon actually help?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, it's surprising hunger and food insecurity affect nearly four
hundred thousand Connecticut residents annually, which is roughly about one
out of every ten people, including children. And food insecurity
isn't just about access to three meals a day, but
it's also about balanced diet and proper nutrition. So when
hunger relief organizations get into a sticky situation, maybe like
(02:30):
what's happening with going on today with snap, getting protein
is not always the most cost efficient way to feed
a lot of people. So we take a lot of
pride in helping providing nutrient dense, protein rich meals for
folks who need it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
That's wonderful. So how many pounds of venison have you
donated so far?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Since we opened our doors in twenty twenty two, We've
donated roughly twenty seven hundred pounds, and so far this
season we're up to nine hundred pounds donated. We're pushing
to hit our goal of twelve hundred pounds for the
twenty twenty five seasons. So we're getting pretty close.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So walk us through how much one deer can really
help a community.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It goes a long way.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
One deer serves up to about one hundred and sixty meals,
but that number can go way up. This year we
received our largest deer ever from our friend Don. Don's
deer netted us ninety pounds of venison, which becomes roughly
three hundred and sixty meals.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Wow, that's amazing, And I just have to ask you,
how do you cook your deer? I'm Italian, so of
course we would have wild mushrooms, we would have the sauce,
we would cook it. It didn't have that gamey taste
so good.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, it's really funny.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think everybody either has a recipe that includes frying
or cream of mushroom soup. So it depends where you
come from a little bit. But I love crock pots.
I love throwing backstrap on the grill, and I grind
a lot of it up into sausage and use it
just like you would ground meat. Kind of anywhere and everywhere.
It could be tacos and go impasa, sauce, you name it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I forgot about the sausage. I know my grandmother would
be rolling over in her grave right now because I
was mentioning it before we were on air. That's great.
And you know what, cream and mushroom soup is good
in anything.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, including venison. It's very good and.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Have to try it. So what do you hear from
food pantries or recipients about how this program has made
a difference.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
This is one of the most fun parts about donating
is that we get a lot of folks that say, wow.
A lot of people maybe have a preconceived idea of
what venison is going to be, might be rough or gamey,
or just tough to chew. But when we grind it
and you know, like I said, use it kind of
like you would grind ground beef. A lot of these
(04:36):
folks come back to us and they say, wow, that
was really incredible. We've converted a lot of people to
become fans of venison who may not have had a
chance to try it in the past, or maybe didn't
even know it was an option. That's been really fun,
and that's also something that we take seriously. We really
want to be a positive influence on the name of venison,
So we truly care about how the meat is processing, handled,
and that it's enjoyed at the end.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
How can hunters participate and hunt to feed this season?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Well, the simple answer is, you know, if you're out
there in the woods, you have extra tags. You know,
we encourage you to donate and if you can't donate,
tell a friend. We've done a lot of work over
the last couple of years just through word of mouth
and it's one of the best ways to support what
we do. So tell a friend is super important.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And what do they need to do after harvesting a
deer to make a donation?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
So we have a handful of processing partners that we
work with. All you have to do is give them
a call and drop the deer off at the processing
partners we work with, tell them it's for hunt to
feed and then we take it from there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Are there specific processors or butchers involved.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, you can.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We have a list of processors on our website hunterfeed
dot org. Our processing partners are located in East Hampton,
West Suffield, Plainfield, Orange and Higginhum.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Is there any cost to the hunter for donating their dear.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
So one of our goals is to make sure that
the hunter never pays a penny when they go and donate,
so for hunters, donating is always free. All of our
fundraising efforts go for paying for deer processing to make
sure that's the case.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So can people make a donation on your website then
if they'd like to?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, we have a portal on our website for folks
who aren't hunters or hunters who want to continue to
donate in other ways. They can go on hunterfeed dot
org and find our portal for donations.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
How important are family run businesses like Fallacetti do your
processing or the Chaikowski custom cots to your mission?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, we love these guys and everybody that we work
with is actually a family run business, which is so cool.
Our processes are really the backbone of our program. They're
so dedicated, they're so committed to what they do. We're
proud to support them as local, family run businesses. They
also support the hardworking staples of their community. So I
really want to give a big thanks and shout out
(06:42):
to everybody who processed for us. We wouldn't be able
to do our job if they didn't do theirs, right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I love supporting local businesses, especially family owned small businesses.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, these people are the best.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Hunter feed isn't just about hunting, it's also about giving back.
As we're discussing, what kind of response have you seen
from the community.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I find hunters in general are just very generous people.
They're eager to share their favorite parts of the outdoors.
When hunters have a chance to do what they love
and share that experience with someone who will benefit, they
have been eager to help and be part of something bigger.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So we're in the middle of deer season now, correct correct?
How has this year's harvest and donation total bend so far?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
We're doing great. The hunters are really rallying behind us
this year. We've donated just over nine hundred pounds as
of today, and we're pushing for a twelve hundred pound goal,
so we're.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Like three quarters of the way there.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
We still have a big chunk of November and all
of December to go, and we're just really excited to
continue to get our message out there and continue to
see the hunting community rally and help their communities.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Isn't it crazy that just one day you got this
idea and look at how it all came to Fruition.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's really exciting. I always see we're just helping people
do good in their communities. It's really not about Hunt
to Feed per se, but just giving people an avenue
to do something that doesn't cost them anything. Really, So
I think it's really fun to just see how the
hunting community is excited, how our processors help us, and
how excited the food pantries and the soup kitchens get
(08:12):
when they're able to get fresh meat in their halls.
So it really goes a long way, and everybody is
just all smiles about it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I just think it's great that you had an idea
and you followed through on it. So many people have
an idea but they don't follow through, and who knows
how many other good things could come out of it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, it's it is scary sometimes. So like I'm part
of a group of venison donation organizations nationwide, and some
of these guys are just incredible. I mean, their programs
will donate upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds,
and you know, my first year working with Hunt Feed,
we donated seven hundred and thirty five pounds. And so
(08:49):
you know, I show up to our annual meeting and
I say, you'll never believe what I did this year,
guys seven hundred and thirty five pounds. And you know,
for these guys donating one hundred and fifty pounds to
pat me on the back and say all right, all right,
you got to start somewhere. You know, it was it
was fun, it was comical, and but it's really every
pound of meat makes a difference. So that's really what important.
You know, we're doing the best that we can. We
(09:09):
know that food insecurity is not a one size fits
all solution, so we're just trying to be part of that.
And you know right now, if we're going to do
one pound a year, if we're going to do one
hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year, you know we're
not going to be the one thing that puts an
end to food and security and hungry relief. So we're
just trying to do our part.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, and you are. Do you have a memorable story
from a hunter family who benefited from Hunter to Feed?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, I feel like you got to laugh a little
bit along the way. So so much of what we
do is maybe a little bit sad when you think
about the people that are struggling, but there was one
day I got a call from our friend Matt. He
owns Barrelsmith Cocktails here in Connecticut, so another Connecticut business,
and he said he couldn't make it to a processor
in time. So I drove out to a Whole Foods
parking lot and I met him. So we're gonna swap
(09:55):
this whole deer at Whole Foods. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So he's got this big old truck with a big.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Buck in the back of it, and I show up
my little Jetta and we're trying to get this into
the trunk of my car. You know, We're pushing and pulling,
and the deer legs are getting stuck and the antlers
won't go in. It's just this whole thing. But the
whole time we're just kind of having a good chuckle over.
A hunter's definition of Whole Foods is much different than
maybe what a grocery store has in mind.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's like Lucy and Ethel.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It was. Yeah, the back and forth was really funny.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
That's fantastic. How does it feel to have the hunting
community rally behind this cause.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You know, I want to say, I'm surprised by the
support our program is garnered, but I'm really not. People
throughout Connecticut have a lot of good in their hearts
and they do care about the community is a whole lot,
and we're just here to be a conduit for those
folks who may not have known that their favorite sport
could allow them to make a difference in their communities.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We're going to provide that outlet and.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Opportunity for folks that want to give back and they
and give them the opportunity to do so. I think
you know everybody that's still hunting this year, just I
want to encourage you guys to all shoot straight and
have good luck, be safe out there, because.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Any day in the woods is better than a day
on the couch.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes, absolutely, I agree with you. I'm speaking with wes
Mon Baron. He is director of Hunt to Feed. If
you'd like to become involved, if you'd like to make

from a hunter family who benefited from Hunter to Feed?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, I feel like you got to laugh a little
bit along the way. So so much of what we
do is maybe a little bit sad when you think
about the people that are struggling, but there was one
day I got a call from our friend Matt. He
owns Barrelsmith Cocktails here in Connecticut, so another Connecticut business,
and he said he couldn't make it to a processor
in time. So I drove out to a Whole Foods
parking lot and I met him. So we're gonna swap
(09:55):
this whole deer at Whole Foods. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So he's got this big old truck with a big.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Buck in the back of it, and I show up
my little Jetta and we're trying to get this into
the trunk of my car. You know, We're pushing and pulling,
and the deer legs are getting stuck and the antlers
won't go in. It's just this whole thing. But the
whole time we're just kind of having a good chuckle over.
A hunter's definition of Whole Foods is much different than
maybe what a grocery store has in mind.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's like Lucy and Ethel.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It was. Yeah, the back and forth was really funny.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
That's fantastic. How does it feel to have the hunting
community rally behind this cause.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You know, I want to say, I'm surprised by the
support our program is garnered, but I'm really not. People
throughout Connecticut have a lot of good in their hearts
and they do care about the community is a whole lot,
and we're just here to be a conduit for those
folks who may not have known that their favorite sport
could allow them to make a difference in their communities.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We're going to provide that outlet and.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Opportunity for folks that want to give back and they
and give them the opportunity to do so. I think
you know everybody that's still hunting this year, just I
want to encourage you guys to all shoot straight and
have good luck, be safe out there, because.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Any day in the woods is better than a day
on the couch.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes, absolutely, I agree with you. I'm speaking with wes
Mon Baron. He is director of Hunt to Feed. If
you'd like to become involved, if you'd like to make
a donation, or just learn more about them, go to
Hunt two feed dot org. Thank you so much for
being here today and for serving the community.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I appreciate you having me

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
