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.
