This year, it was pricey to bring home a tree for the two week holiday window. I know costs have gone up and so I swallowed hard, dismissed falling needles and invested in the shortest tree I have ever had! "I love a real tree," I pondered hoping the magical scent was worth the cost and the mess!
I knew some towns collect trees after the holidays and turn them into mulch; however, I now know that goats love and actually need our old pine trees! The needles are nutritious and an antioxidant rich snack! Our old pine trees even act like a natural dewormer!
So if you are local, bring your pricy old tree to Rockland Community Farm Network where some friendly goats including my favorite, Baby Mocha, will put your investment, and mine, to good use!
