Meet our NEW Meat Rabbits

We have partaken on the adventure that is Meat Rabbits - I am told not only healthy but quite tasty meat - I have only had wild rabbit and am told this is much better.

Meet our Doe:   Daisy
(here's to many happy healthy litters :)

and here is our buck Amadeaus - his name is my husband's contribution to this venture!! 


As you will notice the females are larger than the males.  Some perks to meat rabbits - you know what your rabbit is being fed.  Rabbit meat is a lean, protein rich, heart healthy meat!!  We hope to offer this meat to our customers the summer of 2012.  If you raise meat rabbits we would LOVE to opinions or anything you have to share or add!!

Join us on Facebook - New Homeschool Group

We have created a NEW Homeschool Group on Facebook - Homeschooling in the Backwoods.  You don't have to live in the backwoods to be a part of this group.  You just need to be a homeschooling mom or dad, family member, someone interested in learning more about homeschooling, a supporter of homeschooling or even a mom who would like some ideas of hands on things to do with her children.

This group was created for us to support one another, make friends in the homeschooling community, offer support and encouragement, share pictures of family and fun projects (even the science project that BLEW up!!), share kid friendly recipes, stories and adventures, links to great homeschooling, lapbooking, worksheets sites and more.
