Proper anti-rabbit fencing and removal off any that are found inside it.
Not cheap or easy, but essential IMO.

Over here we have to contend with deer and rabbits eating the beg and bears eating the fruit so many folks who get visits from these critters put up electric fences and that seems to do the trick

Many of the vegetables you aim to grow are the perfect accompliment to stewed, roast, fried and pie-ed . They are generally low fat, and a healthy alternative to factory farmed chicken. Take matters into your own hands or seek help locally. In my experience, a local family butcher will know of somebody to discuss your requirement
