The Latest Freecycle Treasure: Chest Freezer

Posted by Jeremy in community, environment, frugality, rabbits, simple living

I was just telling DW that we could really use a chest freezer, and soon. With 45 rabbits in the barn and room for only 13, we were going to have to send some of them to freezer camp if new homes couldn't be found soon. Fortunately I found homes for 4 of them yesterday at a rabbit show in San Bernardino, CA.

Now, I shouldn't make it sound so morbid. We raise the rabbits for meat and freezer camp is where they await their turn for the table. But, our kitchen freezer is normally to capacity and that is a lot of rabbit. So, finding homes for them has been a growing need.

Anyways, while at the rabbit show (where I had a rabbit win best of breed for all three shows (I had 7 of the 8 rabbits in the breed)), I received an e-mail from my local Freecycle group offering a chest freezer. How fortuitous!

I immediately replied and received a call about 4 hours later informing me that it was all mine. The arrangements were made, and as of 10 am, I have a chest freezer. It needs a little cleaning up, but here it is.
