I'm curious, is the business idea that you sold your bike to get capital for, related to the VAWT project? Either way, you sold it as an investment that should ultimately get you the opportunity to get an even better bike, right?

The business idea is building a rabbitry, raising rabbits for meat. However if the VAWT I am working on works as planned I will be building a bigger one with solar panels to run the rabbitry off of.

Unfortunately the money I got off of the sell of the bike had to go to household bills since I lost my job.

There is a tiny glimmer of hope though, I have a job interview on Tuesday so with any luck I may not be out of work for too much longer.

Good luck with the job interview! Also on the rabbit raising venture.

Every Easter a local minister who serves the homeless cooks up the annual Easter Rabbit Dinner:

April 17, 1990
"Jesus Christ did not tell us to give each other some cuddly little Easter Bunny. He told us to feed the hungry." -Rev. Larry Rice, explaining why he served barbecued rabbit at an Easter dinner for the homeless in St. Louis.

The first couple of times the local TV news would send a "shocked" reporter. The response from the recipients was pretty much, "It's a darned good rabbit. Maybe not as good as grandma used to make,"ut still real tasty!" Lately, they just report it as one of the regular seasonal news bits.

I like that. Grin

It is definitely more practical and to my mind more rewarding, to feed the homeless and other less fortunate a nice rabbit dinner than to give one as a pet.

Rabbit meat is more nutritious than chicken and any recipe you can do with chicken you can do with a rabbit and in my opinion better tasting.

Very friendly, easy to take care of and great with kids. Of course, there's not a lot of meat on the dwarf breeds...

We ate alot of rabbit when I was a kid,back then we could only get horse meat, but you cant beat fried rabbit,way better than chicken.
don't see it in the market very often. Do you think it's popular enough to make a living growing the little blighters ?
Ever thought of Sable ? a smallish Sable haired water color brush will set you back $25 to $30 ,just a thought.

It ain't no get rich quick business, but when done correctly a rabbitry can bring in a decent living. I used to raise rabbits when I was younger for the pet market and I did fairly well with just twenty does. But the meat market is a better pay off.

I have been doing quite a bit of research and there are processors all around the country that are screaming for more rabbits because they can't keep up with the demand.

Free ranging the rabbits is not doing a rabbitry correctly. It may look cute on advertising, but there is no way to control the breeding schedule and trying to keep records is virtually impossible.

Which is what it says in the book Im reading.

at our house we always serve reindeer for christmas dinner!

Essentially the same as Caribou ... a very popular and widely available game food up here on The Rock. "Rabbit Catchin'" as it's known here is in season during the Fall and early Winter ... either by setting snares out in the woods or shooting with rifle with the help of a Beagle to flush 'em out. Wild rabbits (which are actually Snowshoe Hares here) are another popular game food ... my Dad used to go Rabbit Catchin' every Autumn ... always hated the smell of 'em cookin' as a kid ... most popular dish is a baked Rabbit Pie ... sort of a thick stew with a pastry crust over top.

EDIT: Here's a recipe;

Good luck with you ventures and job search Yonuh!
