I am sure you have all noticed the new name at the top of our website. We are now known as a whole as Cherokee Flats. Cody's Rabbit Cave and Austin's Chicken House will still have their names on paperwork and will remain individual from Cherokee Farms. We had discussed changing it all over to Cherokee Flats Farm but, after great discussion with the boys, determined that they still wanted there things seperate!!
BOYS!
If you have any questions, please let us know!!

Hello fellow Bunny folks..
Spring is finally sprung here in Central Illinois. We so so happy to finally have nice weather and get some fresh air both in the house and in the rabbit barn. I know the rabbits are lovin it!!
WIth Spring, comes the willingness of our Polish does to FINALLY breed... ugh.. it was a long winter with no one wanting to breed.
Reminder: Several litters due between March 19 and March 29. Keep your eyes open for those perfect babies!!
Happy Spring y'all
