By Genesis Sod Farms — Your Winter Lawn Experts (and occasional historians)
Baby, it’s cold outside… but that doesn’t mean your lawn can’t get in the holiday spirit. In fact, this is the time of year when your yard becomes more than just grass — it becomes a festive stage for questionable décor choices, inflatable snowmen the size of compact cars, and of course… reindeer snacks.
But before we dive into the history of tinsel agriculture (oh yes, we’re going there), let’s start with the basics.
How to Make Premium Reindeer Food (Genesis Sod Farms–Approved)
If you’re planning to attract reindeer this holiday season, please understand one thing:
Reindeer are picky.
Like, won’t-touch-the-store-brand-oats picky. Here’s our official, proprietary, probably-not-FDA-approved recipe:
✨ The Official Genesis Reindeer Mix
-
1 cup rolled oats
-
2 tbsp birdseed (for crunch)
-
A sprinkle of dried cranberries (they’re health-conscious in December)
-
Just the tiniest pinch of glitter — the biodegradable kind, because we love the Earth, and also Santa hates when his reindeer shed sparkles on the sleigh
Mix it all together, toss it gently across your dormant lawn, and wait patiently while pretending you can’t hear your neighbor whispering, “Janet has officially lost it.”
But Wait… Why Does This Work?
Reindeer are attracted to:
-
Shiny things
-
Oats
-
The pure holiday delusion radiating off anyone who stands barefoot in the yard whispering, “Come on, Blitzen…”
Science? Not really.
Festive? Absolutely.
A Final December Thought from Genesis Sod Farms
While your lawn is taking its winter nap, there’s no harm in having a little holiday fun. Whether you’re attracting reindeer with artisanal oat blends or starting the neighborhood’s first-ever tinsel farm, December is the perfect month to let your lawn sparkle — literally.
Stay festive, stay warm, and remember:
Dormant grass still deserves holiday cheer.
And if your reindeer don’t show up?
Don’t worry. They’re just busy, not ignoring you. Probably.
