We have seemingly hundreds of rabbits

We keep rabbits as pets, they occupy a space between care and coexistence. They are familiar with human presence yet remain distinctly their own—watchful, curious, and guided by instinct. Their enclosures are places of routine and reassurance, where feeding times, fresh hay, and gentle handling establish trust through repetition rather than force.

Our rabbits play a quiet role in the life of the farm. Visitors often pause longer with them than expected, drawn in by their calm movements and attentive stillness. Children learn patience by observing rather than chasing; adults slow their pace, matching the rhythm of the animals.

As pets, the rabbits are not performers or novelties. They are residents of the farm, cared for collectively and respected for what they are. Their presence reinforces the farm’s values: responsibility, gentleness, and the understanding that meaningful connection with animals is built through consistency and care.

Though now at home in farms and gardens across the world, rabbits trace their origins to the wild landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. From those early European populations, they spread gradually through human movement and settlement, adapting alongside us while retaining their alertness and instinctive behaviours. The domestic rabbits here remain connected to that history — shaped by generations of care, yet still carrying the quiet awareness and independence of their wild ancestors.
