A family rabbitry rooted in the place we call home
Birchbark Rabbitry started the way most small rabbitries do — with one rabbit we fell completely in love with. Cinnamon arrived as a charming smutty orange Holland Lop buck before we had any plans for a rabbitry. He just made it impossible not to start one.
Named after Birchbark Drive — the street we live on in Massachusetts, where actual birch trees line our property — we built our small rabbitry slowly and intentionally. We added does carefully. We learned genetics. We made mistakes and learned from them. We are still learning every single day.
What we always knew is that we wanted to do this honestly. Small numbers, known animals, transparent genetics and lifelong relationships with the families who take our kits home. That has never changed.
Birchbark Rabbitry is part of something bigger. Our family runs Gavi Hand Enterprises — a nonprofit where our three kids are literally the junior board. Our oldest sons are building a gaming education site. Our daughter Maddie, 11 years old, runs Aloha Jewelry making bracelets and has her own brand identity she designed herself using Canva and AI tools at age 11.
We believe in raising kids the same way we raise rabbits — with purpose, responsibility, room to grow and the understanding that the work you put in shows up in what you produce.
Maddie also co-designed the fox mascots for our STEM Sparks Hub educational program. The creativity and work ethic in this family is something we are genuinely proud of every single day.
Every kit leaves with full genetics disclosure. We explain Vienna, broken and harlequin in plain language because informed owners make the best rabbit parents.
We are not done when you drive away with your rabbit. We answer questions for the life of your rabbit. We genuinely want to know how they are doing years later.
We deliberately keep our herd small. Every rabbit here is known by name, handled daily and cared for individually. Quality over quantity, always.
Our professional photography background means every litter is beautifully documented from day one. Buyers see their kit grow from newborn to ready-to-go-home.
Daily foraged dandelion and clover, alfalfa and timothy hay, fresh vegetables, and hutch setups designed around what rabbits actually need — not just what is convenient.
We do not ship. Every kit goes home with a family we have talked to, usually met in person, and feel confident about. Pickup only in Massachusetts.
