I’m making a special dinner for my friends group and I would love to include rabbit. I’ve called all the butchers I could easily find (Horrmann, Worden, Schuchmann, Harter House, City Butcher, Legacy Meat co, Ozark Mountain Meats, B’s Meats) and nobody has it. Does anyone know a local farmer or butcher that I missed that sells it?
Try Schumann Meat Company! Last time I went to pick up a goose, they had all kinds of meat and I think I remember seeing rabbit. They are really nice and can order meats if they don't have them in stock.
You might try Hyvee. From what I remember they have a variety of meats.
Idk how much time you have but you can order just about anything online. I
Yeah I’m hoping to have it within a week and it’s very expensive online but that’s my plan B.
Do you have any hunting experience or any friends an family that do? Rabbit season is open
You might look on a marketplace for people who are selling rabbits and ask if they have meat available.
No... It's duck season.
Out of all the meat, why have you chosen rabbit
I would recommend learning how to trap rabbits.
Some of the stores like Harter House and HyVee have (or had in the past) rabbit in the freezer section. The meat counter or cust service desk might not know about this
Why, hasenpfeffer, of course.
You might check Hormann on Battlefield. They always have a variety of non-traditional meats.
I think I recently saw some at the farmers market and at Harter House as well. Express Foods can probably get exactly what you need as well.
Edit: Missed the Hormann/ Harter House note. Check Express Foods for sure. Chris has a great portfolio.
Oh I thought Express was just seafood. Good to know, thanks!
I was thinking either stew or pan roasted on a garlic wine sauce, if I wanna get fancy.
Definitely his specialty, but worth checking out for sure. If he doesn’t have it, he can probably tell you where to get it.

We got some farm raised from the Willard farmers market during the summer. They have a facebook group. You might find it and reach out there.
Wild jackrabbits around here aren’t very good eating, imo. You basically have to stew them, as they are tough and gamey. Be much better off to find some rabbit that was bred for meat.
This is the same thing I thought of. You just don’t forget a hand-scrawled sign that just says “meat rabbits.”
I don’t think we have jack rabbits here
Add your number and 1st name to this post and I'll have her call you.
We definitely do. But the same is true of the eastern cotton tail. Our wild rabbits just aren’t delicious here like they are in other places. Meat rabbits are better to eat.
Since when does Springfield have wild jack rabbits?
Google it. We have them here. I live right on the edge of the city, near farm land. That’s what they like. I see cotton tails and jackrabbits. 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: see below for farm link that advertises rabbit.
I believe mama jeans on sunshine may carry frozen but don’t quote me on that.
Other than that, here, start calling other farms. Having used to work on a pasture-based livestock farm, we were very in touch with what was available.

Earlier this year, I called all over Springfield looking for rabbit. Hormann Meats eventually got some in—expensive though. HyVee (on Battlefield I think?) said they could get it, but they’d have to wait on their supplier.
COOK COOK. Where's my lunch? Where's my dinner?
I have 13 butchered and in the freezer ready to go. 4173831851. Text or call is fine. Thank you.
Swap meets have a lot of chickens and rabbits. Might be done until Spring though. Would have to butcher it yourself of course
Yea don't do that. DMs exist for a reason.
My brother has rabbits. I can see if he has any fresh ones for you.

Cafe Cusco serves deep fried rabbit.
