GEDDES, N.Y. — After nearly two weeks as a popular highlight at the Great New York State Fair, the 800-pound butter sculpture was deconstructed on Tuesday by Livingston County's Noblehurst Farms.
Based south of Rochester, the farm helps turn food waste into renewable energy and has spent nearly a decade recycling the butter sculpture from the fair, recycling more than 8,000 pounds of butter in total.
Taking about 11 days to complete, this year's sculpture was called “Dairy for Good: Nourish, Grow, thrive" to celebrate the nourishment of dairy. It also honored the 125th anniversary of the “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” to honor author Lyman Frank Baum, who was originally from Chittenango, N.Y.
“It goes into [an] anaerobic digester, and it sits in there for about 28 days,” said Noblehurst Farms' co-owner Jack Klapper. “Over that period of time it releases methane and the methane gets converted into electricity.”
