Guinea pig; the other 'other white meat'
ABC (Australia)
Would you eat guinea pigs or pigeons for dinner in your home?

Elisabeth and Frank Fekonia of Black Mountain on the Sunshine Coast live on six acres and have been growing and producing most of their own food for over a decade.

In fact, they haven’t visited the butchers in twelve years! Elisabeth milks her own cows, goats and sheep and makes cheese with the milk. She grows fruit and vegetables and makes sourdough bread and a variety of other fermented foods and drinks.

If you’re into permaculture, you’ll be impressed by this couples’ efforts to live a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle - but their latest venture to add guinea pigs and pigeons to their menu challenges the status quo.

So, is eating guinea pigs and pigeons taking permaculture to the extreme?

Elisabeth and Frank don’t think so. Through teaching their permaculture pursuits to others, they want to empower people to take responsibility for what goes into their mouths.

“When you actually kill your own meat, you know what they’ve eaten and where they’ve come from, especially with chooks and pork because there’s a lot of antibiotics and hormones used in the production of those animals.
