What is Sacred Harvest?
Sacred Harvest is a method of harvesting animals that merges hunting skills training, rites of passage, and fellowship with the intention of providing sustenance for a household or community. The idea was born in 2019 from a heart's calling to connect people with their food source in a holistic and wholesome way that supports their personal growth. The entire process, from building relationship with the animal to processing and packaging its meat, is an impactful journey that allows participants to investigate their internal landscape while learning self-sustaining skills at every step along the way.

Wes & Joanna
Wes Atkinson - a successful hunting outfitter and avid outdoorsman - and Joanna Kraft - a farmer turned event coordinator and restaurant manager - met in 2021 through a mutual friend. After developing a treasured friendship and appreciation for each other's paths, they found a mutual desire to bring a vision to life together. Their aligned dreams of fellowship, nature-based living, and explorations of the heart are supported by their complimentary skills and experience. Together, they created Sacred Wyld, a platform for gathering community around the table, supporting rites of passage, and integrating our actions with the rhythms of nature.

Sacred Wyld Studios
The animals we harvest provide abundant medicine for us to utilize long after their passing. Muscle and organ meats - as well as bones - nourish our bodies from the inside out. Hides warm and protect us; and skulls and hooves act as potent keepers of each animal's unique spirit.
One of our goals with Sacred Wyld is to care for and prepare the most powerful medicine possible for our clients. This means using most parts of the animal and working with the client's specific intentions to develop a "medicine cabinet" that honors the animal and provides the client with nourishment for body, mind, and spirit.
Along with butchering the animals' meat, we make bone broth and process their organs to be used as supplements.
After the hide has been tanned, Joanna is able to make custom garments and bags that can be used for ceremonial or every-day use.
Skulls, horns, antlers, and hooves can be made into beautiful art and altar pieces.
If you haven't been a Sacred Wyld client but have a hide or skull you'd like to make into something meaningful, let's talk about your ideas and create something wonderful!
Joanna's creations - such as garments, sacred jewelry, and nature-based art - are also available on our new Etsy store! Check it out and contact us to collaborate on your custom, one-of-a-kind piece.
