This week on Voices of Taos, reporter Stephanie Gates talks with Lucas Salazar, Matanza Project Developer for the Taos County Economic Development Corporation.

Gates and Salazar talk about the challenges small producers face when trying to have their meat processed locally, as well as how a local processing facility would allow more money to remain in Taos County.

They also discuss the complexities involved in getting the matanza facility up and running and the  scarcity of current options available for local meat producers.
