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.
