Meat Rabbits
Wild Canadensis began their journey with meat rabbits in 2024, and offer 8-10 week olds for purchase as breeding stock. Schedule a farm visit in early Spring through late Fall to meet our rabbits, and learn about raising rabbits as a sustainable and healthy meat option.
Hobby Farm Services
Missy has extensive gardening and farming experience, and is an experienced veterinary (and human) surgical technician. She began raising chickens from egg to laying hen in 2008, in a forested area with wildlife pressure and a high predator presence (deer, bear, raccoons, opossums, foxes, coyotes, and birds of prey). She specializes in predator control to keep your small livestock secure. Contact Missy to schedule a consult for hobby farm design, livestock housing ideas, and protection against predators for your homestead.
Testimonial:
"Missy and Travis have made us the proud hen farmers we are today! They provided us with their knowledge and understanding of hen health and safety care. We were given all of the tools to aid us in successfully raising hens: informational books, resources, safe living quarters, proper organic nutrition, and equipment. They extended their knowledge and experience to help us defer preying animals as well. Visiting our hens while we are away from our homestead is always appreciated, and our hens love seeing them. Thank you Missy and Travis!"
Best regards,
Denise and Eric Keiling (2024)
