With the holidays approaching, please keep our farm in mind.

If anyone is getting rid of straw bales or (non rotten) pumpkins (Christmas Trees later this winter that are not sprayed) we would come pick them up! Our animals love straw for bedding and would eat the Pumpkins & Christmas Trees.

If you aren't local, a helpful alternative is to see if any of your local homesteads or farms can use your straw/pumpkins/christmas trees, instead of throwing them out.
