Over the last few years, I developed a passion for harvesting meat in an ethical, environmentally friendly manner. While learning to raise and hunt meat, I began to learn how to cook wholesome meals for my family with whatever meat I have available, which is frequently not the same types of meat you’d expect to find in a grocery store in the USA.

In early 2022, I decided to stop supporting commercially produced meat. Since that time, all the meat in my house has been harvested and processed entirely by me.

One thing I’ve noticed while talking to other homesteaders, hunters, and foodies is that a lot of homesteaders and hunters struggle to learn how to maximize the usage of their self harvested meats and that a lot of home cooks have grown accustomed to the easy access products that we find in grocery stores throughout the country resulting in a bit of a lost art of using what’s available to you in exciting or adventurous ways. I’m here to share my experiences and experiments as I strive to grow food and create exciting dishes.
