I love my rabbits. They offer me therapy, handling them and working with them each day is soothing to me. They offer me some of the best manure I can find for my gardens, allowing me to make my great soil in my raised beds even better. And of course, they provide wholesome meat for […]

The Value of Properly Handled Foods
(There are two pages today, a new thing for me here. Please be sure to read both pages) I was digging through my chest freezer a few days ago, and ran across a package of venison, simply labelled “bs”. Now if you’ve read ANY of my other posts, you must be thinking that this is […]
Preparing your Rabbits for Lean Times
I was fortunate to run into Aaron of the InTheRabbitHole Podcast Monday night in a group meeting, and of course the subject of rabbits was talked about for quite a long time. One of the subjects we discussed was what to do in the event that the regular feed, in my case this meant rabbit […]
Dehydrators – A Self Reliance Tool
I was looking for a subject tonight, and realized I’d never written about my dehydrators, though I’ve written many articles that included them as an important background player. The list of my articles that use a dehydrator includes: Drying and Storing Sweet Peppers Fire Roasted Coconut Dried Chili Lime Papaya Chips Making your own All […]
Another Coconut Obsession
I’ve always kicked around the idea of marketing dehydrated water….I’m guessing I’d make a killing for the ultralight hiking crowd….I just never took the initiative to get the product line started…..then researching, I found someone had beat me to it 🙁 Along those same lines, I was thinking about
A Failure on my part – Overgrown gardens
Florida is home to a fantastic array of flora and fauna. We have artichokes to zoysia grass, and armadillos to zebra mussels. And most of it flourishes at one point or another during the year. As far south as we live, we rarely get a frost, and I’ve yet to see a heavy killing frost […]
Because I can, and it’s the right thing to do.
I was recently speaking with a family member that now lives alone, and we were talking about how hard the economy was, and how hard it was becoming to make ends meet. They went on to tell me how they barely had enough money to go grocery shopping after paying all the bills on their […]
Cooking with Canned Rabbit, or “How does it REALLY taste?”
Yesterday I wrote about canning rabbit. Today, I’ll cover what it actually tasted like, and what I did with the first jar I opened. As I mentioned before, the smell while it was processing was VERY
Revisting our “Free Food” volunteer tomato patch
I wrote about our patch of tomatoes that overran my pepper plants, and have mentioned them from time to time since then. Yesterday, I went out and picked all of the ripe fruit from both the volunteer tomatoes, as well as those from the black cherry tomato plants I planted. I was shocked to see […]
Dried Chili Lime Papaya Chips
If you recall the volunteer papaya tree I mentioned before, you’ll realize its been quite a while since it first sprouted. In fact, its now been long enough to start harvesting 4-5 pound fruits from it 🙂 I’ve been working on an aquaponics system (a future post, I’m sure) that actually sits underneath this tree, […]
