Why Rabbit

The Most Underrated Protein on the Planet

Rabbit is leaner than chicken, more nutritious than beef, and more sustainable than almost any other meat source. It has fed families for centuries and earned a permanent place on the menus of America's finest kitchens. And for pets with allergies and sensitivities, it's one of the most effective novel proteins available. At Blue Ridge Rabbit Meat Co., we raise it clean and honest, the way it should be, for your table and your pet's bowl alike.


Why It's Better

  • Leaner than most meats — lower in fat than chicken, beef, or pork, and higher in protein per ounce.
  • Nutrient dense — rich in B12, selenium, phosphorus, and essential amino acids for energy, immunity, and muscle.
  • Naturally hypoallergenic — a novel protein most people and pets have never been exposed to, ideal for sensitivities and elimination diets.
  • Raised right — no antibiotics, no added hormones, a clean vegetarian diet, and USDA-inspected processing at every step.
  • More sustainable — rabbit is one of the most efficient animals to raise, requiring far less land, feed, and water than traditional livestock.
