This is why we do this.
July 27th 2016


Pulled rabbit barbecue served with spinach shaved carrot and steamed rice. Pinch of volcano salts.

The rabbit front quarters were browned with bacon and mustard seed oil before being pressure cooked so the meat is extremely tender and the bone is easily removed. This is ideal because you also get the mineral benefits from the bones into the meat. It’s healthier and makes for a richer flavor.

We’ve been posting several rabbit and venison dishes over this last week. Our intention is not to put forth exploratory efforts. This is simply a demonstration of how and what we eat. As anyone who has a family knows, time is a scarce resource and putting forth a nutritious meal three times a day on the table is no easy task. You will notice that the dishes over this week or so have been similar to one another. This is because we are primarily eating what is in season and sticking to the staples that make the task of putting the food out more predictably and efficient. This is home cooking, creating a common ground of staples is a great way to lay a foundation for acquiring food solutions for our dietary needs. A rice or quinoa served with a protein is usually two thirds and foundational. The remaining third could be a kimchi, spinach or cucumber salad. That remaining third is seasonal, Like vegetables from the garden, or mushrooms that we forage. Eating seasonally is good for our spirits. I can’t explain why but it may be because our diet is in sync with our environment.

We hope our latest post find you stronger today than you were last week.

Preparing the meat that we raised together as a family.
July 11th 2016
Atlanta, Georgia

This is our fourth year of running our backyard rabbitry. Our rabbits are cared for and loved. We have a great admiration and respect for the animal. Before we butcher our rabbits my children have learned to say, “Thank you for being here for us and for making us stronger, we will not waste your meat, you are now a part of us.” The children do not have any problems with the harvesting of the rabbits they help raise. They are excited and feel like they are contributing to the family. We believe this makes them more confident growing into the people they will become and more respectful to the environment they are growing within. There is something that has changed within us since we began raising our own meat. There is an understanding that is gained by being responsible for the lives that we end so we can continue. We are tighter as a family because we shoulder the reality of understanding how much dies to keep us alive. Past experience in sharing these particular endeavors that we engage in as a family lead me to believe that many of you reading this may find it unsettling, to say the least. We only ask that you try to understand that we are choosing not to participate in factory farmed meats. The meat that we harvest and eat in our house has been loved or, if hunted, has lived a real life.

We hope our latest family blog post finds you doing well and in the present moment with an open mind.

Most respectfully,

K

Rabbit harvest.
March 22nd 2016 Atlanta, Ga.

I am very proud of my daughter. Today she help me harvest our rabbits from start to finish. She’s witnessed it plenty of times but this is the first time she had hands on experience. She was excited to finally be able to help me in the process and it was a big confidence booster for her. She feels like she is contributing to the family and now calls herself the back-up butcher. She is only five but I don’t have a doubt in my mind that in the next several years she can handle this process by herself.

Understanding where food comes from is a very important lesson that ideally should be learned at an early age. This is something we believe is lacking in today society. Our actions, although Sometimes uncomfortable, are reconnecting the sacred bond we have with our environment. We find beauty, Independence, and enlightenment in doing so. Our methods are streamlined and ethical. The meat we consume in our household is free of industry byproduct.

We hope our latest post finds you enjoying this spring weather!

A word on recent comments.
March 25th, 2016

We are usually complemented by those in our grandparents generation which is one of many motivations for us. We share our children’s enthusiasm for learning about our environment. In doing so, we are able to dive deeply, together, and experience, with all our senses, the knowledge that we attain transition into understanding. To gain this experience together is at times uncomfortable. We believe that it is experiencing the reality of life together as a family, even as uncomfortable as it may be at times, to be a strengthening bond that not only unites us but connects us with the long line of people it took to get us where we are now. Our daughter volunteered to do it. She’s has asked several times in the past but I have told her that she’s not old enough. It created a back pressure on her desire to be a helping hand in the family. She was truly happy to help and was very respectful. We believe it was a great confidence booster for her. We do not judge those who speak negatively about some of the aspects of how we live and teach our children. We do hope that the reasons that motivate us to move forward in life change over the years.

Lions mane mushroom. “Hericium erinaceus”
9.21.2015

We found this choice edible high on the ridge in the north Georgia mountains. It was found 15 feet high, growing out of a wound of a red oak tree. It is a delicious mushroom with great medicinal properties. The texture and taste is somewhat like seafood with floral notes. I realized after eating this mushroom and many wild choice edibles that I had an uplifted mood for about half an hour after consumption. It’s as if we’ve been without wild foods for so long that consuming them brings us a slight euphoria. It could also be that were eating these wild foods when they are very fresh. Regardless we always end up leaving the Forest healthier and more excited about life then when we came in.

We hope our latest post finds you doing what it is you need to do to become the person you would like to be.

Respectfully,
