Welcome to Earth Light Angoras
We raise our rabbits for fiber and show quality. We actively strive to improve the breeds and their genetics. Our program focuses on the health of the rabbits, their bodies, creating luxurious fiber, and lower maintenance rabbits. The rabbits are the primary fertility suppliers for all of our plants and gardens, and we bring in little to no outside fertilizers or composts.
We are forming a fiber coop for those who buy rabbits from us, so excess fiber (clean and sheered to our standards) can be sold back to the coop to offset cost of upkeep of the rabbits. This also presents the opportunity to go in on fiber mill runs by combining fiber from several small scale rabbit keepers to have yarn milled without the challenge of small scale producers reaching mill "minimums".
We raise exceptional rabbits. We are nationally ranked rabbit breeders within the NARBC (National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club) and registered with the ARBA. Several of our rabbits are in the running for rabbit of the year for their breeds and classes.
One of our most precious awards was the Best In Show award at the ARBA national convention wool skein and garment competition for a shawl which was handspun lace weight from one rabbit from all her sheerings throughout a whole year. It really is a thing of beauty and was a gift to my elderly grandmother after winning the award. No one would ever treasure it more. The rabbit it was from "Chocolate Chip" will be seen on many pedigrees of our grand champions. She is one of my favorite rabbits still. A shining example of ease of care, dark luxurious fiber, and wonderful temperament.
