St. Stephen's Farmers Market Dates & Times
Albert & Adriana
We define ourselves as a very adventurous Team. We are both retired executives (Military and the Airline Industry) and after living and traveling in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and touring the US in an RV for 3 and a half years, we finally decided to settle down on a small Farm in Emporia, Virginia. In 2017 we established Emporia Rabbitry after attending a “How to Raise Rabbits” Workshop at Virginia State University, in Petersburg, VA.
We are very passionate about our current cuniculture adventure. We specifically breed, raise, New Zealand rabbits through artisan production means. The final result is superior, delicate, tender and flavorsome rabbit meat. We believe rabbits raised right provide better tasting food.
We focus on the welfare of our rabbits through a sustainable and repeatable production method. We absolutely take our time to ensure a “stress-free” environment. We make sure our actions treat the rabbits as humanly as possible.Initially, we collaborated with other Farmers and sold our products at Restaurants in Virginia and Maryland. Once the restrictions of the Pandemic came into effect we mainly focused on Raw Diet for Pets and sold breeders to people wanting to grow their own food.
In 2022 we took our adventure to a higher level by attending Farmers Markets in Richmond, specifically: St Stephens, Birdhouse, Dorey Park and Carytown. We are truly thankful for the high recognition our quality rabbit meat has brought to our recurring and new customers.
