Mom’s are generally very easy to buy for. As a mom, I can say it truly is the thought that counts. I don’t need anything amazing or expensive, just a token of love and appreciation means the world to me.
Why are flowers so wonderful for Mother’s Day? Because, even if your mom is the kind of woman who loves to buy her own flowers, a gal can never have enough beautiful blossoms in her life! Just as she raised, nourished and nurtured her children, enjoying the blossoms along the way, moms delight in the visual joy that flowers provide. Continue reading »

What is it? Suet is a high energy bird feed comprised of animal fat and other ingredients to attract insect eating birds. This special feed is a quick source of heat and energy in the cold winter months. But don’t be fooled… birds love suet all year-round. Offering this tasty bird treat in a wire cage or suet log is a low maintenance bird feeding option. You refill only once every week or so, you don’t need to scrub the feeder, and you can leave it in your yard year round. Want to try suet without the feeder commitment? Try our hanging suet & feeder in one! This Pine Tree Farms suet comes in a container with a net. Simply remove suet from the tub and place inside the net. Hang outside at least 5 feet off the ground and watch the birds feast!
Presenting suet in your backyard will also attract a greater variety of birds for your enjoyment. Some of the wild birds that enjoy suet include: Woodpeckers, Chickadees, Bluebirds, Mockingbirds, Warblers, Titmice, Nuthatches, Jays, Robins and Wrens. Some of these birds won’t visit seed feeders, so this is a great way of attracting different birds to your back yard. The birds that visit your suet feeder will also reward you in the spring and summer months by eating the insects in your garden.
Suet Special: Buy 12 and save $6.00! Mix or Match!
Choose from Berry Treat, Nutty Treat or Seed Treat!
