Hoppin Schoolhouse Farm

Hoppin Schoolhouse Farm breeds rabbits including harlequin, New Zealand and French angora in Escoheag, RI, serving Washington County near Providence. With more than a decade of experience and full membership in national rabbit associations, the farm follows standardized health testing and vaccination protocols for its rabbits.

Each rabbit lives in spacious hutches with daily socialization and seasonal outdoor exercise on the farm. Maye Gardiner, a lifelong advocate for humane animal husbandry, maintains detailed breeding records and encourages early handling to ensure gentle temperaments. The mix of meat and wool breeds offers options for homesteaders seeking both productive stock and fiber companions.

Reviewers highlight consistent litter health and surprisingly calm dispositions among young rabbits. English angora and Champagne d’Argent rabbits are cared for with regular grooming sessions to preserve coat quality, and litters are evaluated for adherence to breed standards. The farm’s historic schoolhouse barn provides a calm environment, and freshwater streams enhance the rabbits’ outdoor enclosures during warmer months.
