Last fall we discovered that the goats' most favorite crunchy snack was these long brown seed pods from our honey locust trees. Since they quickly devoured all the pods from our own two trees, this led to a hunt all over town for similar trees so we could stock up on winter treats. Emily and I hit the jackpot one November day at a local park and harvested enough pods to fill the entire trunk of my car, and last week a friend gifted us with two more large trash bags of pods which had survived the winter covered in snow. The goats were ecstatic, but now we have a storage problem as the garden shed is already full and the pungent odor of the pods makes me reluctant to leave them in the garage.
Yesterday, driving down the road, we spied the solution - a portable container apparently designed just for goat-owners, capable of holding all the stinky treats you'll ever need. Now I just have to convince my husband that one of these will look perfect in our driveway...
