30% off of our ModT5 until June 2oth 2016

We are promoting an entertaining and stimulating path to becoming healthier. Growing your own food has many steps and is not as easy as going to the store and buying. But, I have found the learning process to be a natural one. Once we got our first seeds to sprout and grow into food we put on our plates it clicked. I believe this knowledge is somewhat embedded in us innately and with a lite dusting the steps to becoming human again is a downhill and satisfying path. We are offering 30% off of our ModT5 system with this…

The loose tooth
May 16th Atlanta, Ga.

We took a unique approach to removing a loose tooth that our boy had this morning. We had a laugh, and the boy was brave, but I don’t suggest trying this at home. We’ve had years of hunting experiences side-by-side together which I believe is a needed prerequisite for even thinking about a method like this.

We hope this post finds you guys doing well and enjoying this spring weather!

Children making their own snacks.
December 7, 2015

Organic apples and cinnamon cut to quarter inch slices and dehydrated for 4 ½ hours at 125°

A child that’s not busy will easily play into mischief. The time and effort put into teaching our children household responsibilities at early age is just now beginning to pay off. Seeing them wash the dishes this evening made the few broken dishes and glasses in the past all worth it. They make their beds, do their laundry, and now we are putting effort into having them make their own snacks. We believe this will be the prerequisite to cooking. The apple peeler, food dehydrator, and vacuum sealer are relatively safe and easy enough to use for our five and six-year-old. We gave little supervision on this round but the next one will be all up to them, from start to finish. Once done, The kitchen should be clean as if making dehydrated apples never happened. We call this opening and closing the experience. Which is something most adults find to be a challenge.

We hope our latest post finds you enjoying the simple pleasures.

The children are learning a propagation technique called cloning. Instead of growing from seeds, the practice of cultivation they are most familiar with, we thought it was an appropriate time to demonstrate a shortcut. We have several rosemary bushes on our property but one is larger, more aromatic, and more flavorful than all the rest. We explained to the children that the primary reason for this is because this particular Rosemary bush has superior genetics and “cloning” is a method of gathering and multiplying this bush into many others without the need for seeds. Because the natural rooting hormone is stronger in the lower branches we started by cutting them and placing them into a cup of water. Then we shave a bit of the bark off the ends, dip into a rooting hormone, and place the cuttings into the moist media. Once covered and placed under the light it only took a week to see the roots growing. Once we have roots on all the cuttings we now have clones… Genetically identical plants as the bush the clones were cut from. Now the children understand that successful growing is a byproduct of the propagation of superior genetics.

We hope this post finds you well.

Rabbit processing follow up.

1.28.2015

After dry aging the rabbits for two days Jolene and I spent some time parting the rabbits out. Six rabbits will allow us to have two rabbit dinners a week for a month. From the culinary perspective Rabbit meat is versatile and a joy to cook with. Furthermore, it’s lean and very high in protein! I believe this part of the process is the most rewarding. To see all the meat laid out on the butcher block conjures a feeling of accomplishment while simultaneously deepening my respect for the animal. And we haven’t gotten to the most satisfying part yet :-)

Our rabbits and some perspective gained by raising them…

By counting the hides that we made from our rabbits I was able to figure out that the rabbit I am processing in this photo is number 18. Even after harvesting that many rabbits I am still surprised about how much meat comes off of just one. One rabbit is great for serving a family of four. We started raising rabbits in our backyard several years ago for a natural source of food. To cook this rabbit I used a cast iron skillet placed in our grill and finished the rabbit on the hot grates. The kidneys, hearts, and livers go into a bowl and soak in olive oil, onion, and poppy seed and usually enjoy pan frying them for lunch the next day.

So far the backyard rabbit farming experience has had its ups and downs within our 2 year practice. The whole experience has reminded us of how challenging it must be for a family to sustain itself “off the grid”. Its a beautiful challenge because we are learning and applying these practices together as a family.  We did not learn any of this from our parents. If adults today chose to live sustainably in these ways it would not be likely the best advice would come from their parents. This advice would more than likely come from the grandparents, great grandparents, and so on. 

Recently our minds float in wonder. These are some of the questions that now surface and form into ongoing conversation in our family:

- How different would our lives be if this knowledge were passed down from our parents?

- How different would our community be if these self sustaining techniques are commonly practiced and how would that community be different?

- Would this community interact with one another more? Would there be more trade? Could lives be lived and shared healthier within these practices?

- How could the technological advancements of today be implemented in these practices?

- Could today’s technologies evolve these practices into a sustainable food source that can be created on site within the average sized backyard? Furthermore, how would the architecture of this “evolved home” differ from conventional methods? 

…

Once one finds the light switch, in a dark unfamiliar room, closing ones eyes will not erase the new found awareness.
