I did want to mention - our phone is currently broken so if anyone has any inquiries please send us an email finnishfiberfarm@gmail.com. We apologize for this inconvenience but we are in the process of fixing it!
I recently received my grand champion legs for Blossom Acres' White Out. She now has 3 GC Legs! I will be clipping her down soon and breeding her. Hopefully she will make many more grand champions!
We are expecting new Lionhead kits and will be breeding our French Angoras shortly. We are still trying to get our Satins bred but so far are unsuccessful.
We will have some Lionheads for sale soon, as well as a few remaining New Zealands. If you are interested, please visit our website and send us an email.
We currently have 1 skein of handspun alpaca yarn for sale. It is single ply, worsted weight, in the colors of green with a touch of blue and yellow. Approximate weight: 2 ounces. $15. Below is a picture.

I have been very busy lately in terms of school. I am now in college so sometimes I cannot get to my website right away, but I still update very frequently. I am still planning on actively breeding all my rabbits and offering show stock for sale regularly.
We attended the GLR&C Shows A & B in Charlotte on the 25th of August. We did very well at this show, taking multiple Best of Breed and Best Opposite Sex in the breeds we exhibited. I will give a thorough report on what we had won very soon. I can tell you that Blossom Acres' White Out received Best of Breed French Angora and now has 2 GC Legs in addition to her first leg as a junior!
Right now I am reducing my herd of New Zealand Whites. I am trying to bring in new blood and also work more with fully pedigreed stock. I am also considering getting a breeding pair of New Zealand Reds so I will need the cage space anyway. The following rabbits are for sale:
Blossom Acres' North Pole - Jr. partially pedigree white buck. Showable. $20 with pedigree -SOLD
Junior Breeding Pair - Blossom Acres' Bobby and Blossom Acres' Tundra Queen. Fully pedigreed buck and partially pedigreed doe. $40 for the pair - SOLD
Blue Ribbon's Baby Boy - Sr. Proven White Buck, born April 2011. Sired several litters for me. Good breeder. $50 with pedigree and production records - SOLD*
Tracey - Sr. Proven White Brood Doe, born November 2010. Excellent mother of several litters. $30 with production records - no pedigree*
*Please note: I will offer these two as a breeding pair for $75.
I am considering selling out of my Satins. I love the breed, but I am having a hard time getting my does bred. I also feel like I need to do some downsizing because of school. I am not setting this descision in stone, but I want everyone to know who is reading my blog that this is a possibility, so keep checking.
We recently got into Netherland Dwarfs - well, more accurately my sister did. She has oranges, a broken orange, and a chocolate otter, so she should have a very nice selection of babies for sale.
We have alot of new and upcoming babies in our various breeds!
I will update everyone on show winnings soon, as well as some new baby and breeding stock pics! For a listing of winnings please visit our website's homepage: http://www.blossomacresrabbitry.webs.com/
