Every life on this farm is treated with dignity and respect. We don't eat factory farm raised meat because of their use of hormones & antibiotics and because of their inhumane treatment of animals. Raising and processing my own animals is the way I can guarantee I know where my food comes from and that the animals I eat are given loving care during their lives as well as a respectful death. This guarantee is passed on to my customers.
Our rabbit meat is raised in Powell River for sale only in the regional district of Powell River. All rabbit meat is fully frozen to a temperature of -18C or less. The meat is transported in an iced cooler to the Farmer's Market and other retail locations. The transporting cooler's temperature is monitored with a thermometer and documented on a temperature log.
