To you, it�s a Christmas tree. But to the goats here at Cropsey Farm in New City, it�s the treat they wait for all year!
�We have three alpine goats and three pygmy goats,� says the farm�s director, Sue Ferreri. �So, we have different sizes and variations of goats, but they all love Christmas trees the same.�
For the last six years, people have been able to come here and drop off their Christmas trees and be a part of the whole process.
�Put a tag on it with your Instagram handle, and we will tag you on Instagram as we feed your tree to the goats,� she said.
It�s a way to keep everything sustainable, which is the very ethos of this farm. But it�s also really delicious for the goats.
�They like to eat the bark too, so they eat the needles and the bark over here. See how Loki is rubbing his horns on that? That�s almost like a massage for him, he loves it.�
And that�s not all, they also accept pumpkins year-round for Iggy the Piggy. Pumpkins are her version of the Christmas tree, just make sure they�re not painted.
