Rabbit Meat & Products
Eating rabbit used to be as common as eating chicken, especially during the Great Depression. After that, most of our meat started to be produced on factory farms so beef, pork, and chicken became the most common meats. Commercial farms had to decide between rabbits or chickens. In the end, chickens won out because it is easier to de-bone their breast meat. The rabbit loin is the comparable cut on a rabbit.
If you have never eaten domestic rabbit meat, you are in for a treat! Rabbits are all white meat and taste like tender chicken breast. Rabbit is high in protein, low in fat, with no trace of gaminess often associated with eating wild rabbit. Champagnes are rumored to be the Black Angus of rabbit, and in our opinion, their sweet succulent flesh is beyond compare!
DID YOU KNOW: Rabbit has the highest protein and lowest fat & cholesterol of all meats. It is also the most digestible. The US Department of Agriculture has stated that domestic rabbit meat is “the most nutritious meat known to man”. See the chart below for USDA meat comparisons:

Our fryer rabbits usually weigh between 2.5-3# dressed. Cost is $7.95/pound which comes to $18-$24 each. (Our processor closed it's doors, so we do not have any meat for sale)
