Raising Rabbits
Come to this workshop to learn about how to raise rabbits for meat. Rabbits are a wonderful addition to any hobby farm, they are a quiet, hardy animal that reproduce easily and grow quickly. The meat is tasty, tender and higher in protein than chicken. Rebecca Hiebert will tell us how raising rabbits has worked for her family.

Raising Goats
Jason Rempel has been raising cashmere goats for a number of years. Join us as he educates us on how to feed, house and care for goats. Chevron or goat meat, is an excellent food source that is extremely popular in other parts of the world. Goats are wonderful animals for a hobby farm, they are small, birth multiples, and eat what other animals don't want. As a bonus cashmere goats have a extremely soft, warm coat that can be spun into luxurious yarn.
