About Us
Cardinal Lane Homestead is a mother/daughter run homestead. My mom, Megan, has a beautiful passion for her chickens and her family. She works hard and serves as an amazing example for those around her. As for myself (Annalise), I homeschool part time and focus on music production and proper vocal technique outside of school as well as my passion for breeding quality rabbits and training horses and other animals. We must also give my dad, Matt, some credit for our beautiful homestead that he built for us. Forever grateful for the sacrifices he has made for us.
Our Story
Our story towards our homestead begins in 2019 when we moved to Idaho on a 5 acre parcel of land on Cardinal Lame. Though, we didn't really have any animals until 2020. Back to 2019, some of our close friends had bought some rabbits. These weren't lops, though, they still did catch my interest and I began trying to convince my parents to let me get a rabbit. Our friends decided to change directions and began breeding lop rabbits. This gave me the opportunity summer of 2020 to take some of their old rabbits and we made a plan to breed meet rabbits. This never happened because a proposal arose where I able to purchase some of their lops and begin breeding. At the time I had no idea about standards or even that people showed rabbits aside from 4H. When I went to buy my buck from another breeder she was able to begin my education on the rabbit show world which led to me selling my 2 lops from my friends and purchasing my first brood doe which then led to my passion in quality animals. Fast forward to 2023 when I reached out to a farm in Cocolalla about their chicken breeds, where they educated me about the Breda Fowl breed of chicken. My mother and I were able to expand our small flock to welcome a breeding project for these beautiful, rare, Breda. That's the story of Cardinal Lane Homestead.
