🚨 ONE FINAL PUSH — AND WE NEED YOUR HELP SPREADING THE WORD! 🚨

Last year, you all helped us take A Land Remembered far beyond what we ever imagined. Teachers, Extension agents, agricultural organizations, parents, producers, and friends shared the program across Florida — and it took off.

Can we do it again? 🌴🐄📚

Registration is wrapping up for A Land Remembered: Where Cattle, Conservation, and Beef Come Together! — a 6-week classroom program for 4th grade, 5th grade, middle AND high school students!

Using Patrick D. Smith’s A Land Remembered, students get to experience Florida’s history while connecting it to the agriculture and natural resources that still shape our state today.

📖 Daily reading from A Land Remembered
🌱 ELA, science, math & social studies connections
🗺️ Journals, maps, worksheets & vocabulary
🐄 Pioneer life + modern ranching
✏️ Real-world writing activities
🎥 PLUS a one-day statewide livestream on February 26, 2027!

And we need YOUR help getting this into the hands of teachers.

You may not be a teacher — but you probably know one. Share this post. Tag an educator. Send it to your local school. Drop it in a homeschool group. Share it with your 4-H families. Send it to that teacher who loves Florida history.

One share could put this program in front of an entire classroom of students. ❤️

🚨🚨ATTENTION🚨🚨
As Alaura steps back from the rabbit side of things to focus more of her time and energy on her dogs and all of her college endeavors, we are making some major, and admittedly very difficult, reductions to our rabbit herd. 💜

This means some of our top-quality show rabbits will be looking for new homes. 🐰🍀

To all of our 4-H 🍀 and FFA members—keep your eyes open! We will be posting LOTS and LOTS of high-quality rabbits over the next week or two, including rabbits that would make excellent fair projects.

🐰 If you need a rabbit for your upcoming fair, NOW is the time to watch! 🐰

We have put a lot of time, effort, and care into these rabbits, and it is important to us that they go to homes where they can continue to be loved, shown, and successful. ❤️

Please let us know if you are looking for anything in particular! We will have Holland Lops, Netherland Dwarfs, Dutch, Silvers, and New Zealands!
