Sustainability on Harrison Farm

Pumpkins

Our Sheep would LOVE your pumpkins! 🐑❤️

We gratefully accept donations of pumpkins every fall. The sheep absolutely love them! The pumpkins provide nutrition, while also serving as a natural dewormer to keep our sheep healthy. This is a great way to keep pumpkins out of the landfill and support your local farm!

“When can we drop off our pumpkins?” ANY time!

“Do we need to call first?” No, not necessary. Pumpkins can be dropped off any time. Just put them at the front porch of the farmhouse.

“What if the pumpkin is carved? Or painted? Or moldy?” We will take ALL pumpkins! The sheep eat the pristine ones, and the chickens gratefully clean up all others.

“What about gourds, or straw, or other fall decor?” Absolutely! We will happily put all those items to use.

“Can we say hello to the animals while there?” Yes, you are welcome to walk up to the fence and the barn to say hello. I ask that you not go in any buildings or through any gates, and please do not feed the animals anything unless you have asked me directly.

Christmas Trees

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” — The Goats 🐐❤️🎄

We gratefully accept donations of Christmas trees every winter. The goats LOVE them, and the trees provide nutrition & enrichment for them during the cold of winter. This is a great way to keep Christmas trees out of the landfill and support your local farmers!

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

Donations

With our focus on sustainability, we gratefully accept many items which we repurpose. I have learned to be resourceful to keep the farm going, and we can put a lot of things to use here!

“What donations would help?” Here are some items for which we are always grateful: cat food of all kinds for our 25 rescue cats, old towels & bedding, egg cartons, plastic bags, aluminum soda cans, old bread & produce, unused medical supplies, chill packs & insulated boxes from shipped food products.
