odd, there are people around me that cant sell rabbit, seemingly, at all.
we have traded for rabbits are various times and always find the meat good - very similar to good chicken. only complaint is that it is much more bony than a chicken.
we generally crock pot them or use the meat in some sort of casserole (mmmm rabbit pot pie).
i have thought about trying to develop a market for the meat, but it would have to be a specialty meat in a specialty market, imo.
also, currently, i can handle butchering chickens/turkeys, but i cant get past killing the furry little bunny..... to bad, because rabbits are far more efficient in meat production, easier to process, breed much faster than chickens and much quieter.
