Not normally words you would hear come out of my mouth with any excitement. But thanks to the calender section in the back of the latest issue of Urban Farming magazine, I now know about the Rabbit Workshop occurring in this..."fair"...city in the month of October. So if you are in the area and are interested in learning about butchering and tanning the hides of your fuzzy little ones, come on by and say hello! I'll be the one looking squeemish in the back...
Oh! And Sarah Cuthill of Frulingskabine Mico Farm will be there too! So come say hi and learn how to get a rabbit from hoppy little cute thing to yummy stew in your belly and soft mocs on your feet! Here is some more info for those of you brave souls interested.
Institute of Urban Homesteading
Rabbit Butchering and Tanning Demonstration
Saturday October 20, 12-4pm
Instructor: K.Ruby Blume
Location: North Oakland
Cost: $40-65
Following a tour of the rabbitry and a brief
discussion on the benefits of rabbits as urban livestock we will
demonstrate humane slaughter and dressing. Also included will be ideas
for preparation of both rabbit meat and organ meats. Then the instructor
will take you through a step by step demonstration of the tanning
process. Some hands-on will be possible. It is highly recommended to
take Raising Rabbits as a compliment to this class.
