Cuniculture Farm
Greensville County - Emporia VA
We have a small Cuniculture Farm which provides rabbit meat, fur and manure as well as Pasture Raised Chicken eggs.
· In 2017 we established Emporia Rabbitry after attending a Rabbit Husbandry Workshop at Virginia State University, in Petersburg, Virginia.
· Our principles and integrity regarding our Breeding operations have resulted in Emporia Rabbitry being selected for three consecutive years (2021/22/23), as the preferred Rabbitry partnership with Virginia State University (VSU) for onsite visits for “Raising Rabbit” workshops.
The next workshop will be in September 2024.
· We are also thrilled to support the community by sharing our passion for raising rabbits with the local 4H Club, holding on site educational events.
· We have helped over 30 customers establish their own rabbit farms by selling them quality breeder stock and providing continual guidance and expertise.
· Since 2022 we have proudly sold our quality rabbit meat at Farmers Markets (Dorey Park, St Stephens, Birdhouse and Carytown) in the Richmond area, where the appreciation for rabbit meat has grown considerably among Consumers.
We are delighted when many families introduce rabbit meat into their diet and we are recognized as the must stop stand with loyal Customers.
We are honored that we have been recognized for our efforts by Richmond Magazine, in 2023.
We are truly thankful for the extraordinary recognition our superior rabbit meat has brought to us as a result of new and repeat customers and their appreciation statements.
