- GOATS RENTED FROM Zane Leno of New Haven take to the fields on Maggie Eaton’s property, also in New Haven, where they mow the grass with no gas or oil. Eaton says she has long wanted to use goats rather than machines and that goat mowing is good for the environment, good for the goats (they get good free-range browsing, and the kids can stay with the nannies), great for the soil (because goats fertilize it), and they keep weeds and invasives down. “No more loud machine noise, just some occasional gentle bleating. All of this makes me happy,” she says. Photo courtesy of Maggie Eaton
