Animals and livestock can be an essential component to land restoration if managed correctly and while we already have goats, chickens and ducks on our small demonstration farm here in Guatemala, I\u2019ve been looking into the addition of another animal enterprise that would fit into our existing systems without overwhelming the small space we have. For a while I\u2019ve been interested in rabbits for their fast reproduction, amazingly fertile manure and their delicious lean meat. That\u2019s when I came across a book called \u201cRaising Rabbits for Meat\u201d by Eric and Callene Rapp and published by my good friends and supporters at New Society Publishers. Immediately I wanted reach our to Eric and Callene because of the wealth of well explained and practical knowledge from their experience raising heritage breeds of rabbits for both genetic conservation and high quality protein.\n\nIn this interview Eric and Callene share their wealth of knowledge in running a profitable rabbitry and walk us through the process of how they got started, general care and maintenance, breeding, harvesting and much more. Be sure to stay tuned until the end when we talk about some of their delicious rabbit recipes that they also include in the book. Now before I give everything away, I\u2019ll hand things over to Eric and Callene\n\nResources:\n\nBuy the book \u201cRaising Rabbits for Meat\u201d\n\nContact Eric and Callen on Facebook
