02 / Plan your order
Before you arrive
Choose your processing options
Request cut-up portions, deboning or selected parts when you place the order. Sausage, curing and smoking are value-added options. Grinding, links and slicing have separate charges. Some work is charged per carcass, some per pound and some per item.
One vacuum bag and a basic label are included. Extra bags and custom packaging cost more. Tell us what you want saved and how you want it packaged before processing.
Plan your batch
Grinding, sausage and links have a 50-pound processing minimum to discuss before scheduling. Sausage recipes also have flavor-batch requirements. Tell us the product you want and the meat available so we can work through both requirements with you. Live rabbit weight is not the amount of usable meat for a batch.
Arrange your appointment and inspection needs
We process rabbits on Tuesdays, with drop-off at 6:45 a.m. The deposit is $2 per rabbit. Cancel at least 28 days ahead for a refund or credit; late cancellations and missed appointments forfeit the deposit.
Tell us whether the finished meat is for personal use or sale. Voluntary USDA inspection is arranged separately. USDA charges by the hour for it, so it isn’t part of the standard rabbit fee — ask us for the cost when you book.
Allow up to one calendar week from slaughter. Freezing is available on request and adds time. Arrange pickup with us; storage charges start after three calendar days from the invoice.
03 / Questions
Common questions
Is voluntary USDA inspection available for rabbits?
Yes, if you arrange it ahead of time. USDA charges by the hour for voluntary inspection, so it isn't part of the standard rabbit fee — ask us for the cost when you book, and tell us whether you plan to sell the meat.
When do I bring rabbits?
Rabbit processing is on Tuesday, with drop-off at 6:45 AM. Confirm the appointment before bringing the group.
How long does a rabbit order take?
Allow up to one calendar week from slaughter to pickup. We can freeze the order on request, but that adds time. Confirm your pickup time when you ask for freezing.
Can I request selected parts?
Tell us which parts you would like to keep when arranging your order. Confirm availability and packaging with our team before processing.
