There’s something so peaceful about being out here in the snow. ❄️

As some of you know, for the past several months I have been working with our state reps to change the laws surrounding rabbit meat sales here in NH. Our current laws allow producers like me to sell to restaurants after licensing, however we are not able to sell to a person.

Currently, if we rabbit farmers want to sell to a person we have to do so as a custom cut or take our rabbits out of state for processing. The closest USDA processor for rabbits is in Wisconsin. Custom cut is a cumbersome way to order and is a bit outdated for our modern lifestyles. This proposed change would create an exemption for rabbit inspection allowing us to sell to people on farm, at farm stands, and at farmer's markets. This way, you can come to our booth at our local farmer's markets or stop by a farm stand and purchase fully dressed rabbit on the spot.

What can you do to help? Call your state reps and tell them you want them to support HB 779-FN! Ask your friends and family to do the same! I will update when a public hearing date is set.

SPONSORS: Rep. Verville, Rock. 2; Rep. Ammon, Hills. 42; Rep. J. Aron, Sull. 4; Rep. Comtois, Belk. 7; Rep. Creighton, Hills. 30; Sen. Murphy, Dist 16; Sen. Pearl, Dist 17

Do you have a child interested in learning more about rabbits?

Granite State Youth RBA is looking for youth members and needs 5 more members before Jan. 1st in order to remain an ARBA club. GSYRBA been an ARBA youth club for 35 years and is currently the only NH based ARBA club in the state.

Meetings are held once a month on a Sat. morning and may try after school or early evening meetings. Meetings are held in-person May-Dec and held via Jan.-April. Youth are encouraged to bring a rabbit/cavy to the in-person meetings.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about showmanship and husbandry, handling, breeds, and so much more from experienced showman and breeders. Youth have several opportunities to show their rabbit(s)/cavies each year including a club sponsored ARBA youth show a year. This club is open to youth with ARBA showable rabbits as well as those with pet rabbits. Cavies are welcome!

Shout out to Birch Rise Farm for some amazing pork butt! Tonight I made my son’s favorite: pulled pork! I used a jar of the apple bbq sauce I canned last month. So yummy!

Some of you may have heard, and those who have asked for them already know this…

I have made the decision to get out of English Angoras. As sweet as these little balls of fluffs are, I just don’t have the passion for them like I do my Silver Fox. I want to focus more on our meat rabbits and unfortunately, we just don’t have room in the barn for three breeds anymore. I want to focus on preserving this American heritage breed while also providing my family and community with high quality rabbit.

We have been selling off our remaining angoras most are with no pedigrees to fiber only homes. I will be posting remaining rabbits over the next few weeks. Check back to see what we have available.

Don’t worry! Emily is still keeping her Crème D’Argent program. We need to make more room in the barn as our rare breed projects grow!

Reminder! We will not be at today’s market in Deerfield. My son had his surgery yesterday and we are at the hospital.
