degrees at six oh five. One local farm giving Christmas
trees a new lifepdbss. I'm a freedman.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
You're beautiful.

Oh my god. I'm hanging out with Bonnie the pig
while the goats are busy munching on a Christmas tree.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Furs.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Furs are top their favorite among all of the animals here.
Spruces are a little bit too prickly. They're hard to handle,
even for the humans.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm a Unity Farm sanctuary and born. Talking with the
farms executive director and co founder Kathy Halamka. Instead of
throwing out your Christmas trees, if they're free of any
preservatives and fire retardant sprays, she says her goats and
other animals would be happy to accept them as a
post holiday snack.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It is a healthy snack if again, it doesn't have
any sprays on it. Because it has a lot of vitamins,
things like vitamin C in there. It is an actual
natural dewarmer, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
They've already gotten some trees donated from the City of Boston,
and soon the whole meadow you see driving into the
animal Sanctuary will be covered in trees. They're expecting over
one thousand, which will keep the four legged friends content.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So our favorite are these trees that will come really quickly,
like they haven't been in people's houses that long.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's when the trees are still green and not too
dry and Sherborne, I'm a Freedman. WDZ Boston s IS Radio.

January twenty first, of well, that's next month. Money from

a winning ticket that expires just gets returned to cities

and thirty one. And if you believe in luck, how
about this store in Mathuin that just keeps cranking out
the winning lottery tickets.

a variety of tickets. It's no over one and a
