Domestic rabbits are incredibly good natured, easy-going, and practical farm animals for small spaces, including even the smallest of urban lots. Raising rabbits can provide a household or market with a delicious and versatile meat, as well as furs, and friendly often comical company.
If you’ve been interested in raising meat rabbits but have been intimidated by the whole process this workshop is your chance to see it all first hand. Learn and observe how to raise rabbits on either a mostly or partly foraged diet (aka, your yard) in a back yard farm set-up. After a processing demonstration by the instructor, each participant will dispatch and process a rabbit. For those interested in primitive skills and/or value added products there will also be some discussion on what can be done with the hide, intestine, ears, feet, brain, etc.
A light meal will be provided during the workshop (rabbit of course!), and at the end of the workshop participants will have the option to buy the animal he or she processed as well as other products.
**Registration is limited to 12 people**
