Running Rabbits Farm is a grass-fed meat and animal seed stock operation, which is established on humane and ethical principles. Our farm is founded on sustaining our family and community with the heritage we have learned in the kitchen and on the farm. We moved back onto the land in 2018 and established a farm based on responsible farming to ultimately leave a personal legacy for our children and community.
The story of the name Running Rabbits Farm stems from our late-rabbit, George, who was rescued in our college years in Florence, Alabama. Alongside the many wild rabbits you will find running around our farm, he is the namesake of our farm. Our farm serves the community in many facets and one being as an educational window into a lifestyle that thrives on minimalism and a farming approach to regenerate the land.
Our farm is situated on two parcels of land split between Alabama and Tennessee, which comprises around one hundred (100) acres. This acreage hosts our rotation of south poll cattle, goats, and hair sheep. One of our farms features a staple of Limestone County—Sugar Creek. This parcel has been in the family for two generations, which has seen changes from conventional to regenerative farming. The other is located in Five Point, Tennessee where we are working to build and maintain a small farming legacy.
