THE FARM
I began as a hobby farmer in the San Jose area in California who wanted to experiment with sustainable living. After some success breeding rabbits for myself, friends began asking for their own rabbits. Thus, I began a small-scale, local farm offering farm-to-table, organic rabbit meat.
PHILOSOPHY
I wanted to have greater control over the food I consume. I felt too cut off from produce, be it meat or vegetable, found in the market. Starting my own hobby farm allowed me to make sure my animals were treated ethically and humanely through the entire life cycle. That respect for life is at the core or my endeavor.
WHY EAT RABBIT?
Here in America, rabbits are viewed more as pets than a dietary staple, but we're in the minority. Rabbit has been called the "best meat available" by the USDA because it is raised off the ground in clean cages. Rabbit meat is all white meat, and has a higher protein percentage than any other commercially available product.
BUY A RABBIT
As I ama small-scale hobby farm, I am working toward providing consistant availability of local, organic rabbit. Currently I take reservations for upcoming rabbits. I process, clean, and deliver to your home on the same day to ensure freshness and quality.
LIVING CONDITIONS
My animals are ethically raised to have rich, fulfilling lives. Unlike large, corporate farms, I provide my animals with plenty of space to play, and I provide enrichment through personal interaction and toys. My rabbits are also sheltered outside, where they get to experience sunshine, fresh air, and plenty of external stimulation.
My chickens are 100% pastured and come and go as they please. They are allowed to forage throughout the day, and are provided at-will organic layer crumbles and scratch. I often have extra eggs available. Inquire on my contact page for availability and pricing.
BREEDING STOCK
You're buying the same quality rabbit I bought for myself. I started with rabbits from local breeders after visiting their rabbitries and establishing relationships with them.
My rabbits are pedigreed and come from a line of show-winning stock. They meet or excede the highest standards of the American Rabbit Breeders Association.
