Tree hay has been used for over two thousand years. Use leaves and branches from trees on your property to feed your livestock.

According to Little Avalon Farm: Tree hay is one of the oldest hay production methods in recorded history. Ancient pollards, or trees cut specifically for branchy growth as is used in tree haymaking, have been found across Europe and it is even mentioned in ancient Roman times.
