Our Mission

Breadbox’s mission is to guide our community in learning to be better stewards of the land. We draw on compassion and humbleness in making decisions for our relationship to Earth and the interconnected ecosystems we live and breathe in. We are passionate about researching sustainable living practices for urban and suburban communities.

Robin started this project out of a desire to learn about her own relationship to Earth and growing roots. Our “homestead collective” has grown to many voices, many hands and hearts, but the guiding principle has stayed the same. Join us as we learn together.

Our Rabbits

Breadbox Rabbitry specializes in show quality Netherland Dwarf rabbits with fantastic temperament. Many of our rabbits are adopted as companion animals and therapy pets. We are a part of both the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) as well as the American Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club (ANDRC), and are active in the show world. Our focus is both on the genetic health and continued excellence of the Netherland Dwarf breed from an aesthetic perspective. Read more about their temperament on our blog.

We are passionate about educating others about rabbit care, health, and happiness. Our goal is to share the joy and healing rabbits have brought to our family while promoting responsible pet ownership and a deeper understanding of how humans and animals can benefit each other.
