Custom-Made Rabbit Hutches Make for Sweet Living

Vanessa's meticulously designed rabbit hutches make for some sweet living for bunnies at Stark Hollow Farm. Our forage-based meat rabbits are raised in Vermont on pasture three seasons, but during winter months they have a cozy set up in the barn loft with a view of the snow covered fields of Camel's Hump.

These modular rabbit pens provide for easy access for feeding, watering, and cleaning and they offer protection from winter drafts and wetness. The modular hutch-mobile attaches to either a cage, normally used in winter, or to a run for three season foraging. This allows for maximum flexibility in the structure's use from season to season and including breeding.

The trays shown below the cages are for cleaning. Rabbit poop makes great compost. The creative homesteader finds many uses on her farm for items which might normally be thrown away. An old dog bowl makes a great rabbit pellet feeder and an old nursery tray is modified to make a hay feeder.

Inquire about purchasing your own live rabbit(s) with one of our custom-made rabbit hutch-mobiles! These rabbits can also make great pets.

Our First Farmer's Market

Stark Hollow Farm had a great debut at the Burlington Farmer's Market in Vermont today. We sold lots of forest raised pork and Icelandic lamb, made some new friends, and had a great time. Folks really seemed to appreciate our heritage breed focus and our small homestead feel. The enormous Icelandic sheep skin pelt was a huge success with the kids. Some of them weren't too sure if it was alive or not, but none of them could stop stroking the luxurious long locks of wool. There was also lots of interest from crafters for our Icelandic Roving.

Acorn's Bunnies!

Acorn has taken such good care of her little bunnies. They are growing strong and big. They are only a few weeks old. They are cozy and warm in their little nesting box. Four albinos, one brown and one spotted.

Running of the Pigs

Six pigs,200 lbs on the hoof each, running through the woods trying desperately to follow the sounds of our calls and the smell of their delicious pig mash to their new paddock near the road. It was several hundred yards of loud dead-leafed scrambling through thicket, down the gully, over the stream, through the cattails, across the field and back into the woods. It was quite an adventure for both humans and pigs. At one point they had all scattered and run off into different parts of the woods! Repeated bucket banging and calls of "WIGGERS!", their feeding time chant, finally brought them home. Those darn pigger wiggers!

New Ram: Ursus

At 18 months, Ursus is a handsome solid moorit proven Icelandic ram. He is 1/4 Bambi, 1/8 Kari, 1/8 Rector, 1/16 Serkur for a total of 9/16 AI genetics. Sire and dam both have a beautiful fleece, and very nice conformation. His fall lamb fleece won Best of Show award at the VT Sheep and Wool Festival.

Our rams have been selected for great quality genetics to produce solid breed stock, superb fleeces, meaty builds, great color, and diversity of blood lines.
