Harcourts Warragul is proud to present to you one of Gippslands most exciting business and lifestyle opportunities. Victorias largest commercial rabbit farm situated on approx 125 prime Gippsland acres plus expansive residence is up for sale. When you explore the potential of this farming operation you can't help but get goose bumps as to where you could expand and grow this opportunity too. One of the few farming enterprises that are price setters, not price takers. For every rabbit processed and sold, the demand is tenfold, add to this the potential to process game birds and poultry to create a truly unique and highly profitable business. "Gippsland farmed rabbits "started as a small enterprise which has grown rapidly into Victorias largest supplier, processor, and seller of premium quality rabbit meat. The meat is delivered fresh to its large network of Melbourne Restaurants, wholesale distributors and retail outlets As an overview the high demand for rabbit meat due to its flavour and health qualities in having the least cholesterol of any meat, has meant, that not only in Victoria but throughout Australia demand has constantly outstripped production, making this an exciting growth industry in an increasingly health conscious world. Recently designed, constructed and fully compliant modern abattoir facilities (which can also be used for poultry), has allowed Gippsland farmed rabbits the ability to not only process their own rabbits but take in stock from other farmers some as far away as Griffith in NSW. By controlling supply GFR have become price setters not price takers. The abattoir has the potential to upgrade the license to process poultry including ducks, chickens, quail and squab and is currently processing their squab off farm. The demand for squab and quail is currently outweighing supply. There is also large potential to expand into the rearing, growing and processing of Peking ducks.The commercial rabbit farm occupies only a small portion of the 80 acres of pasture and 45 acres of natural bush, allowing for complimentary farming activities.As a lifestyle property you could not get a more idyllic setting with views to the Baw Baw ranges to the north and the Strezeleckis to the south.
