l’ll never stop believing kids are capable of so much more than what modern society expects from them, and maybe for what we give them credit for.
This past Sunday, we processed half of our meat birds — and I found myself feeling deeply proud watching our boys take part in skills that few families pass down anymore. Whatever the role was each one of us had- we all had a meaningful part from start to finish.
It is wild to me how much knowledge has been traded for convenience.
To hunt.
To process.
To cook.
To clean.
I wasn’t raised learning these things, I wish I was! Maybe I would have felt more empowered or connected at times when I didn’t feel that way.
But I believe we can always choose to teach ourselves what matters to us and pass on the knowledge we feel is worth preserving!! Like raising, caring for, processing and cooking our own food. What skill could be more valuable than that?!
That feels deeply important in our home and I’m so grateful for my husband’s knowledge in hunting, for our like minded community who taught us this process and the friends that allowed us to borrow their feather plucker 😅🙌🏼 🪶 🍗 🌲 🤎
And if photos of meat aren’t your thing- skip the carousel of our 🐓 🔪
