I was amazed at seeing the process. I would have probably cried during the killing. But meat is needed for its protein which we need to live so it’s truly the circle of life. I had a question tho I didn’t see you mention but what do you guys do with the Guts from the animals? Do you use everything or do you throw those out? My fiance and I just recently moved to the country and we live on a nice amount of land, not like what you have but we were thinking raising chickens down the road for eggs and to possibly eat.

Lol I love this thats exactly how we do it. We also hunt moose and my son and his mother like to get a grouse from time to time.
I agree completely about dairy especially we can not get milk from a neighbor or the dairy farm because it may be unsafe when unpasteurized? Are they mad that is just so big companies like lucern get a cut I think. I’m glad they don’t try to interfere with farm fresh eggs

I really enjoyed this post. It’s so well-written and I could not agree more with your views. I posted about my first (successful) deer hunting experience in November and received some backlash from vegetarians.. which is ironic since I spent 8 years as a vegetarian (and a year as a vegan). I used to hunt birds when I lived in Colorado, and have wanted egg and meat chickens for years now (and maybe pheasants, too!). I definitely don’t have room right now, but it’s a life goal.
Anyway, stumbled upon your blog recently and I really enjoy it. Cheers from another (slightly-less) tattooed girl who likes to kill and grow her own food, and hopes to raise a family on a farm someday. You’re a great example to follow.

Cor – We read a lot of books. A LOT. We had never done it personally, but did as much research as we could.

Younie- You’re funny.

Tim – Cheers, yourself Tim! Best of luck and enjoy yourselves!

I am curious…did you all have any clue what you were doing when you decided to purchase a farm? I mean..how to raise animals for food and all the work that goes into it, or did you have to do a ton of research and kinda learn as you went? I think it is awesome regardless… I wish I had the bravery to do something like that. I think it is a wonderful way to live and raise a family. Very healthy:)
