Now that presents have been opened and Santa Claus has retreated to the North Pole, the only thing that remains is that Christmas tree. You cut it down, brought it home, decorated it with shiny ornaments and twinkling lights. But now that tree has lost its piney scent, the New Year is upon us and it has got to go. Before you haul that evergreen out to the curb, think twice, there is one place in Connecticut where you can recycle your Christmas tree with the help of some goats!
Recycle your Christmas tree into goat food!
Trees and shrubbery are a normal part of a goat's diet and these guys will happily take care of disposing of your holiday tree.
Lyric Hill Farm in Granby welcomes your donation of live Christmas trees.
The farm can be found at 134 Hungary Rd., Granby, Connecticut 06035.
The goats love to eat the greenery and strip the bark off the trees.
Although we might consider this to be hard work, these goats delight in the task.
Lyric Hill Farm has a small herd of French Alpine dairy goats.
The Alpine goat is a medium sized breed known for its quality milk.
The farm creates hand crafted goat milk soap and other natural products.
There is a small shop right on the farm where you can browse through their selection of fine homemade products.
So before you take that tree to the curb, think about turning it into some healthy goat food.
The kids up at Lyric Hill Farm will be thankful for your tree!
Remember to remove all ornaments and tinsel before bringing your tree to the farm.
Also please make sure the tree has not been chemically treated, this will make the goats very sick.
So what are you waiting for? This year, recycle your Christmas tree into a treat for this kid.
