A Small Family Farm Rooted in Purpose, Stewardship, and Community
8th Day Farms is a family‑run homestead in Floral City, Florida, built on the belief that good food comes from honest work, healthy animals, and a commitment to caring for the land. We raise free-range eggs, heritage poultry, and New Zealand rabbits for both breeding and USDA‑exempt meat sales – all with hands‑on attention and respect for the animals entrusted to us.
Our farm is small by design. We believe small farms produce better food, stronger animals, and deeper community connections.
Our name comes from the idea that on the “eighth day,” God made a farmer – someone called to cultivate, steward, and care for creation.
We believe in:
Ethical, humane animal care
Clean, sustainable practices
Honest local food
Serving our community with integrity
This isn’t just a farm to us. It’s a calling.
Our Farming Philosophy
Humane, Ethical Animal Care
Our animals are raised with space, fresh air, clean housing, and daily hands‑on attention. No cages, no industrial shortcuts.
Stewardship of the Land
We use simple, sustainable practices that protect the soil, reduce waste, and support long‑term health of our farm.
Thoughtful Breeding
Our New Zealand rabbit program focuses on temperament, growth, mothering, and genetic diversity – not just appearance.
Small‑Batch Quality
Everything we produce is raised in limited quantities so we can maintain the highest standards.
What We Raise
Free-Range Eggs
Deep‑yolked, flavorful eggs from hens raised outdoors – not in cages.
Poultry
Seasonal live poultry by appointment (subject to availability).
New Zealand Rabbits
Breeding stock, starter trios, and USDA‑exempt rabbit meat for families, homesteaders, and local customers.
