There’s got to be a better way!

Our guest this week knows a serious amount about the how, why, where and what of this key part of the regenerative cycles that link or living soil with our living food. We all eat. We all want the soil on which our food is grown to be as alive as possible. We will all do best if we eat locally.

If you are able to donate any amount, this local bunny rescue truly does snacking work. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and my vet refers cases to them. They help so many with so little.

Hello! The attached post about pollinators was the last post I made from Bees Needs.

Someone recently hacked my account and posted that all my rabbits were “free to good home”. I’m not profiting off my rabbits but they’re not free lol. Sorry about the disinformation. Probably was someone who’s charging waaaay too
Much for bunnies of similar quality.

Very grateful that everybunny's now vaccinated. These babies get boosters on Feb. 8th. All other babies will get first dose then and booster by 8 weeks. All adults are vaccinated. What a relief.

Blue Chinchilla Doe All 30 our rabbits (including the litter that is ready to rehome now) got their second dose of the RHDV2 vaccine today! Because this disease is a relatively new threat in the US…

The Tennessee State Veterinarian issued an order allowing the distribution of a newly released vaccine to protect again Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease. Because this vaccine is under emergency use authorization, Tennessee will be approving veterinarians individually until emergency approval status is lifted by the Center for Veterinary Biologics.

We would like to make it clear that the approval process through the State Vet’s office is not intended to restrict access, but rather is being used as a precaution due to the fact that the vaccine is not fully licensed. Because the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics Medgene Labs has approved the vaccine conditionally, with an Emergency Use Authorization, there are specific steps and documentation required to distribute the vaccine. Only licensed veterinarians are currently allowed to administer the vaccinations, and the State Veterinarian’s office is working with Medgene to track distribution and use of this new product.

We do this with other conditional use biologics and vaccines. TDA would like to be able to monitor distribution and also trace animals that may enter the food chain until the emergency approval status is lifted.

Rabbit owners need to work directly with a veterinarian for the vaccination. Veterinarians may contact Medgene to order vaccine and the company will reach out to the State Vet’s office for approval.

Additional questions should go to the State Vet’s office at 615-837-5120.

We can now protect our bunnies!!

I'm writing to express interest in the Medgene RHDV2 vaccine that was recently granted EUA in the US. Supposedly, Medgene has communicated the availability of this domestically manufactured vaccine to all 50 state vets. As we are within 150 miles of confirmed, active RHDV2 cases here in Tennessee, I...

The bees’ honey stores were well stocked for winter, so there was enough for us to have some too! “Us” as in the rest of the family. I’m allergic to honey!

Cool weather is making me hungrier. The kitchen has been been emanating scents of apples, caramel, cinnamon and pumpkin non stop since our recent trip to the local apple orchard. It reminded me to tell you to start taking orders now for the holidays. Again this year, I'll be making some of our farmers' market favorites like apple cinnamon rolls, caramel apple monkey bread, pumpkin rolls with cream cheese frosting and a variety of freeform scones (not the dry ones like you can get at national retailers but like the ones you bought from me at the market). All of my creations are made with fresh ingredients you can pronounce that are locally sourced and baked to perfection.
