Why Bunnies Should Buy Farm Fresh Celery

Why Bunnies Should Buy Farm Fresh Celery

In blind taste tests, 4 out of 5 rabbits can’t tell the difference between celery purchased at a local supermarket and that bought directly from farmers.  That’s according to a new study out today from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Still, experts advise that while store brand celery might save a few cents, it is better to purchase farm fresh when available. “Not only can you talk directly to the people who grow your celery and find out what went into it – pesticides, fertilizers, labor practices – but you’re also supporting local food systems,” says Katie Greenhorn, the founder of Southern California Rabbits for Real Food, an organization that helps small farmers sell directly to bunnies.
