Eight goats munching in an Argan tree

We don't know how old these goats are, but they are up in an Argan tree. Oils pounded from its nuts defy age.
Sosie bought several bottles.
Stan's sister Sosie and her husband Bill are in Morocco. Today she sent a picture of some goats up in a tree and an explanation of the Argan nut, something we've somehow never heard of. Here's her note from Africa:

"Our first close look at an Argan tree came with goats. Goats love argan leaves and nuts, which are the basis for the age-defying argan oil. This is an 'only in Morocco' product and a women's co-op is the current award-winning best producer. The nut is small and women pound the outer shell to release the kernel and then squeeze out the oil. We bought bottles of the stuff, all the better for maintaining the youth and vigor of friends and loved ones."
