Free Range Goose

In June, the day-old goslings arrive on our farm. For the next 2-3 weeks they are kept indoors to allow their plumage to grow sufficiently to keep them warm. They can then roam freely in our grassy meadows and, as with our turkeys, their welfare is constantly monitored.

Our geese are then slowly reared until they reach full maturity. They feed mainly on grass, supplemented by a natural diet with no food additives. This traditional rearing method ensures that their meat will be rich and succulent.

The oven-ready weights range from around 4kgs to 7 kgs. There is less meat on a goose than on a turkey, so an average 6 kg goose will feed 6-8 people, allowing about .75kgs per person.

Starveall Farm is a member of the Goose Producers’ Association and we follow their welfare, rearing and quality guidelines.
