ST. NORBERT, Manitoba — A Manitoba farm is offering an eco-friendly way for people to get rid of their Christmas trees.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Minotta of Aurora Farm in St. Norbert, Man., says their goats would welcome the chance to chomp on the discarded evergreens.<\/p>\n

She says their herd of 40 goats eats Christmas trees all through the winter months.<\/p>\n

She says it beats putting the trees through a chipper, plus it makes “a bunch of fuzzy, cute animals very happy.<\/p>\n

The Manitoba Goat Association says there’s an added benefit for the goats in that the tannin contained in the trees is a natural de-wormer.<\/p>\n

The association also says that while it’s true some trees are treated with chemicals, the goats are usually smart enough not to eat those ones.<\/p>\n

Minotta says the farm opens to the public every Sunday afternoon, and people are welcomed to bring their trees at that time.<\/p>\n

“We can just throw the tree right in over the fence and kids and families can watch the goats eating them right away,” said farm owner Louis May.<\/p>\n

After seeing a video of the hungry goats devouring a Christmas tree, Mark Kinsley, a City of Winnipeg recycling technologist, said people could take trees from the city drop-off locations if they wanted to donate them to a goat farm.<\/p>\n

“As long as it’s getting recycled, that’s a great example. Just as when we chip it, so we’re happy to oblige,” said Kinsley.<\/p>\n
