We are a family of artist and designers by trade. We are hunters and gatherers by the seasons. Adventures when awake and sleeping. We are raising our children and practicing a way of life that embodies a reverence for the rugged common sense toughness our grandparents have while leveraging the understanding of how present day technologies put worlds of knowledge at our fingertips. We travel often to be engaged in different cultures. This is our plan for discovering ways of life to aspire to. From time to time, This study deepens a respect for our region and the cultures closest to us which shape us as a southern family.

Photographs, videos, and text present in this blog were created by us in effort to document, study and share what we learn together as a family.

We hope our efforts find you learning and practicing what it is you need to be doing to live your ideal life.

Our Rabbit liver patê.

It’s rewarding to open the refrigerator and see the rabbit liver pâté setting up in the jars. There is a lot of love, time, effort, and last but not least nutrition that goes into those jars. Our rabbitry is now seasoned, being in production now and going on five years. We have one Buck and three Does. We harvest four times per year. We normally harvest between 8 and 18 rabbits per quarter with exception to winter time. In winter we harvest about 6 to 9. This gives time for the rabbits to relax and recharge. It’s also easier on us not having to take care of so many rabbits during freezing conditions.

This post focuses on some of the “weights and measures” of the rabbit liver pâté we made from yesterday’s 8 rabbit harvest. This always happens one or two days after harvest. Once the rabbit livers are cleaned and trimmed out we let them relax in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the water to evaporate away and leave the livers clean with a beautiful deep red color. We put them in a bowl, weigh them out and get started using our recipe. You can find a link to our recipe below.

Weights and measurements:

8 rabbits / organic feed&veggies / 3 months old

Genetics: select propagation of the New Zealand and Flemish breed.

- 8 rabbits procured 11.25 ounces of fresh rabbit liver. (1.2-2oz per rabbit)

- We made 16 ounces of Pâté that were divided into 4 ounce jars.

- So it took us 2 rabbits per 4oz jar.

- Following our recipe our Pâté contains 2.8oz rabbit liver 1.2oz of other ingredients (butter, cream, dry sherry, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, ginger paste, Salt, pepper)

I would like to provide you with data on how much and what type of food it took to get the rabbits to harvest. I could provide estimations but I promise on our next harvest I will detail the food intake of the rabbits for the duration of their birth to harvest.

Here is a recipe:

Rabbit hindquarters, belly flaps and a saddle. Once browned in bacon fat, The pan was deglazed with a Chardonnay. Once up to a singing temperature, I added in half a red onion, half a white onion, two large cloves of elephant garlic, all sliced. Once it was all approaching a boil, I added more Chardonnay, 5 tablespoons of ginger paste, and 2 tablespoons of Chili paste. I placed the browned rabbit meat back in the pot, halfway submerged in the wine. Cover the top with carrots and fresh thyme. Pressure cooked on high temperature with high-pressure for 10 minutes, the last 30 minutes high pressure on low flame.

Served on top of steamed brown rice and sided with Romain lettuce. Drizzled in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of Himalayan salt.

This one came out so tasty I felt like punching a hole in the wall. The ginger, onion, and chardonnay we’re on top of the experience. The garlic and bacon we’re on the bottom. In the middle was a juicy, tender rabbit meat that we farmed ourselves. At the tip top of this mountain of flavor where wispy clouds of thyme moving past a little red flag that blew with a hint chili.

80% of the meat we consume as a family is from what we farm from our rabbitry and the deer we bring in from the forest. We have done this now for several years.

By lowering our standard of living we have increased our quality-of-life.

Much love,
