Goose is growing
in popularity as an alternative to turkey. It is a more
succulent, tasty bird, with a slightly gamey flavour.
The goose fat not only bastes the bird from the inside
(preventing the roast drying out like turkeys often do), but
is widely celebrated for producing the best roast potatoes.
For our
Christmas meal here at the farm, we use a Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe, from his book 'The River
Cottage Year'.

This gives us giblet-stuffed neck of goose (like a giant
sausage), confit of legs, and a glorious roast goose all
from one bird! This may not be your cup of tea, but
please let us know what you are going to do with your bird
when you order, so that we can prepare it accordingly.

The goslings are
raised outdoors on grass and bruised barley from a
neighbouring farm, and have the freedom to graze the plum
orchard and fields as they please. We keep a
relatively small group each year, so there are limited
numbers available.
Please note
that due to the large increases in the price of grain
earlier in the year we
have had to raise the price for our geese to £10 per kilo.
Order ASAP avoid disappointment
