S1E29 Are Meat Rabbits A Good Fit For Your Homestead?
As I recorded this episode, one of the biggest news stories is a potential protein shortage at the grocery store due to processing difficulties a the commercial meat plants due to COVID-19. What can homesteaders do to ensure that they have a constant supply of protein for their families? One answer might be meat rabbits. On this episode we talk about their pros and cons. I share with you our journey (unplanned and poorly executed) into raising them. And I share some of the lessons we learned along the way.
I also bring you up to date on what we've been doing here on our homestead this week. I hope this finds you well. Enjoy.
Brian

We are a small family farmstead in upstate NY. We raise American Guinea Hogs, meat "mutt" rabbits and a variety of heritage chickens. We also have started raising Cornish Cross broilers.
We have a large garden comprised f raised beds and do a lot of canning and freezing of vegetables. We also do some fermentation as a means of food preservation and introducing natural probiotics into our diet. This YouTube channel is dedicated to our journey towards a more sustainable, healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Who knows what we might try next??!!!!!
