UPDATE April 2014: Due to the high demand and ungratefulness of some, I will no longer be offering free seeds and do not offer them for sale. I spent hours of my own time and took food out of my family’s mouth (literally), only to have people bitch and complain about the speed of my […]

Smoked Rabbit as a Grab n Go snack
I work on the road, and have some tricky diet requirements. I eat “Paleo”, meaning that I consume zero grains, legume,s or refined sugars. Try finding fast food that doesn’t have any of that. So I tend to carry things along to get me through the day. Nuts, fruits, sliced cucumbers, or rabbit jerky have […]
Rabbit Milk Cheese
Life is full of patterns, many of them are simply our idle brains putting together completely unrelated facts and trying to find some relationship between them. Everyone does it, some better than others. I’m not one of the more observant ones most of the time, but when I see a “pattern” developing, I usually cannot […]
Coloring Quail Eggs for Easter
A quick one, it’s been a hectic week, I even missed posting yesterday, sorry! Today is Good Friday (as if they make a BAD Friday…). That means Easter is a couple days away. And while I don’t go to church, I know that the proper way to celebrate the resurrection of Christ is to decorate […]

Rabbit Jerky
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 […]
Jalapeno Spam
Ironically, this article about Spam will be short. We make, buy, stock and eat quite a bit of canned meats. From canned mullet and to Yoders bacon to canned rabbit, I’ve probably tried making it, or at least tasting it. And of course, I’ve eaten my share of Spam. Not as much as the average […]
Grind Your Own Red Pepper Flakes For Better Quality and Flavor
When I was writing about making curry powder from long term preps, I also included a bit about grinding my own red pepper flakes. I mentioned that once a year I gather as many different dried peppers as I can find. This year, I was able to locate
Baited Breath Part 3 – Bait Shrimp
In the past year, I’ve eaten mullet, and sand fleas, and while both are considered bait locally, both are edible, and are on my “goto” list….if the world ever ends. Actually, neither were that bad, just not worth the effort when other options are available A few days ago, I was fishing with a friend, […]
Canning Meat
As I sit here typing this out, I can hear the pressure canner merrily rattling along every twenty seconds or so. Pork butts and chicken thighs were on sale this week, and I took the opportunity to put some up the old-fashioned way, pressure canning it. I will go over the general process, but I […]
