Recycling The Christmas Tree
"O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree,
How tasty are thy branches..."
I was going to tell you that this is what I heard from the goat pen,
but the truth is...
all I hear is munching!
What's even better than Ritz crackers?
Why, a discarded Christmas tree is, of course!
Every year the goats get to recycle our Christmas trees.
They spend about a month completely stripping the needles from the tree,
and then the tree goes through the chipper and becomes ground cover for the dry lot.
Complete recycling!
Nothing wasted.
And on top of that...very happy goats.
Not to mention goats with very fresh breath!
Can you believe it...it's the last day of 2013!
Do you have plans for New Years Eve?
We are having a quiet evening on the farm.
Don't you just love New Years?
It's so ripe with possibilities...
Wherever you are, whatever you do...
be safe, ok?
