SPRINGVILLE, N.Y. — Christmas trees can bring a lot of joy this time of year, but now that the holiday has come and gone, maybe you want to pass that joy to someone else.

At Let's Goat Buffalo, 'tis the season for good eats.

“Everyone gets very excited about the big guy coming on Christmas," said Jennifer Zeitler, the owner of Let’s Goat Buffalo. "Around here, the excitement all begins after Christmas.”

It’s the offseason for about 30 goatscaping goats, but they still have to eat. This time of year, Christmas trees are making better meal times for them.

“Pine trees, I think, are just very delicious. That's probably the most important thing to the goats," Zeitler said. "But as a herder, really, we appreciate the fact that they're full of nutrients and vitamins; things that they need to get them through the winter.”

That’s why Let’s Goat Buffalo wants your plain, unsprayed and undecorated Christmas trees.

“We really feel like it's an environmentally-friendly way for the trees to be disposed of,” said Zeitler.

These goats make quick work.

“That tree will probably be gone within the next 15 to 20 minutes,” she said.

They don’t mind making a mess.

“When they eat the trees, it's a little bit sticky," Zeitler added. "So every once in a while, we'll get a white goat that has a little pine tree mustache and beard. It's very cute.”

But it doesn’t end there.

Every piece of the tree gets used.

“As you'll see, even our walls, and if you look up, our ceilings, are being trimmed with the Christmas trees,” Zeitler pointed out in one of the sheds on the property.

The trunks are used as insulation and even fence posts for their garden.

“This is really important on a regenerative farm. We really try to focus on sustainability," she said. "But also there's the added bonus of the fact that lumber is very expensive.”

Trees can be dropped off any time.

Though there are specific open farm dates where you can meet the goats, and the other animals getting some post-Christmas fun.

Treats for the pigs will be hidden under them, so they get some enrichment.

The donkeys get a sprig here and there, and the chickens use them to roost.

“It's something that we've kind of built into our feeding system," said Zeitler. "Interestingly, this year we finished up our last pumpkin from October, the day that we got our first tree. So we have now tailored our approach just right.”

With hundreds of trees coming in, that last through April, sometimes even May, it’s good eating for the goats.

“Happy goats, happy herder, right,” laughed Zeitler.
