Angora Rabbits for Sale!

Katelyn has decided that it's time to market her angora babies. She made up posters and has posted them at the local feed store and at a fiber/weaving shop in Oneonta. Now she's waiting for the phone calls. The good part in this endeavor...if she doesn't sell the rabbits, she can harvest their wool to sell or knit some angora yarn items to sell.
The village of Unadilla is hosting it's first annual autumn celebration farmer/vendor market on September 25th. We're doing our best to produce items to sell at the market. Tomorrow I have to tackle the paperwork aspect of the venture. Today I washed wool and did some spinning. I plan to have alpaca item kits and finished products for sale. I may even be able to make use of some harvested angora fiber. I'm hoping Matt will get some of his decorated gourds ready. Wayne would like to make some cut glass items to display. It would also be great if Rachael got some of her artwork ready by then. Marc may have some goat milk soap to sell...or if it's a good egg production week...farm fresh eggs. Rabbits are portable, too! There's plenty of potential for the Abundant Blessings Farm booth.
