Rabbit Meat Back in Vogue

Rabbit meat is now a luxury priced at $20–$40 per whole, far from its humble past as a cheap staple—thanks to dwindling wild harvests and soaring costs for hunters and processors. Once common in places like South Australia, rabbit trapping faded after effective biocontrol slashed populations, but recent rains have sparked a wild comeback, causing millions in crop damage. Despite the surge in numbers, the meat remains scarce and expensive, with chefs raving about its flavor and hunters struggling with rising fuel, ammo, and inspection fees. Butchers report frantic calls and sell-outs, while mobile processing units offer a glimmer of hope to make rabbit meat more affordable and accessible for everyone—from restaurants to home kitchens.
