At the heart of Epic Ears Rabbitry is a passionate visionary β Francis Warui Githinji, a trained Zoologist, agricultural entrepreneur, and advocate for youth empowerment through rabbit farming in Kenya.
Francis founded Epic Ears Rabbitry with one goal in mind: to create a sustainable, impactful business that provides quality rabbit meat in Kenya while offering education, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities β especially for young people.
His journey began with a love for animals and a dream of transforming lives through agribusiness. After graduating with a degree in Zoology from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Francis combined his academic knowledge with practical farming skills to start breeding pedigree rabbits at a small backyard setup near Lenana.
Today, Epic Ears Rabbitry has grown into a respected brand located on Waziri Road, Nairobi, known for its:
High-quality rabbit meat in Nairobi and Kiambu
Premium rabbit breeds suited for meat and breeding
Empowering rabbit farming classes and mentorship programs
Support for farmers looking for where to sell rabbits in Kenya
Francis is more than a rabbit farmer β he is a mentor and changemaker. He regularly partners with organizations like Soma Siri Africa to offer hands-on training to youth, women, and aspiring agripreneurs. Under his leadership, Epic Ears Rabbitry has helped dozens of farmers start and scale their own businesses.
He believes in teaching people how to fish β or in this case, how to farm β and is always eager to share knowledge about:
Rabbit health management
Feeding and housing systems
Value addition (e.g., rabbit meat processing)
Market access and sustainability
Francis envisions a future where rabbit farming in Kenya is a mainstream, profitable, and respected agribusiness. With a firm commitment to excellence, innovation, and impact, he continues to lead Epic Ears Rabbitry as both a business and a movement.
