INSTRUCTOR: FIDEL CAMARENA
Fidel Camarena has over four years experience in all aspects of running a rabbitry dedicated to producing meat rabbits. Out of a desire to provide his family with a better alternative to what big agriculture offers, he added a small rabbitry to his gardening efforts. Healthy, nutrient dense food for his family, not harming the environment, building the soil and sharing his knowledge are what guides Fidel in how he raises his livestock and grow his crops.
