Halloween Recycling Program
Planet New Canaan, an environmental sustainability group in New Canaan, CT, organized a recycling program for undecorated/carved Halloween pumpkins and squash as animal feed, rather than having them go into a landfill. Mountain Falls Farm offered to take some of the pumpkins, knowing that pumpkins have historically been used as cattle fodder in New England. As the pictures demonstrate, our cows did indeed enjoy eating the pumpkins. Will the beef now have a hint of pumpkin flavor?
