The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to light many talents with potential to earn money that were previously hidden.
When the pandemic hit, Dennis Daniel started Funnai Rabbit Farm in Buruburu, Nairobi county in 2020 in a bid to meet his financial needs.
Rabbit meat contain more protein and less fat compared to beef, turkey, pork and chickens. As a result commercial rabbit farming in Kenya is becoming popular.
Daniel started his farm with two female rabbits and one male that cost Sh400 each. He later bought one pregnant rabbit and by December, he had 25 rabbits.

As a teenager living in Marin County in the early 1990s, Jasmin Darznik loved driving into San Francisco to wander North Beach. Like so many aspiring writers before her, she’d spend hours in City Lights bookstore and nurse espressos on Columbus Avenue, enamored with the neighborhood’s storied artistic past.
“It was my own bohemia,” Darznik writes in the author’s note to her new historical novel, “The Bohemians,” out Tuesday, April 6. It’s a captivating coming-of-age story of Dorothea Lange before she was a world-famous photographer, and a portrait of complicated post-World War I San Francisco.
I know, you re supposed to love all your children equally. But it s an open secret to the people I work with that year in and year out, my favorite wine that we make is our Esprit de Tablas Blanc. That s not an indictment of any of our other wines. And it s not even that I open more bottles of Esprit Blanc than I do anything else (that honor goes this year to our Vermentino). But I feel like the Esprit Blanc is a wine that year after year we can stand up against the best examples of rich, textured whites made anywhere in the world, from any number of different grapes, and have it shine.
