Rabbit doe and kits at 3 weeksMotherhouse’s Old Style Life-Skills Series presents a workshop on raising rabbits. Meet at 10:30 to visit a local backyard rabbitry and then drive to Local Farm for more discussion, demonstrations, and a pot-luck lunch. Learn about breeding, raising, and harvesting your own meat rabbits. Talk with  experienced backyard rabbit raisers. Hear about Margaret’s experiment tanning rabbit hides. Take the opportunity for hands-on practice harvesting one and go home with a rabbit dressed out to cook for your next day’s meal.

Raising rabbits is the first choice of many homesteaders because rabbit meat is fairly cheap and easy to produce in a very short time. And it’s cholesterol-free! Sample some during our pot-luck lunch.
