Why is goose a Christmas bird?
Geese grow with the seasons. Goslings hatched in spring graze through summer and reach natural maturity as winter arrives, which is why goose was the traditional British Christmas bird long before turkey took its place.
How does goose compare to turkey?
Goose is a darker, richer meat, closer to good duck than to turkey, with a generous layer of fat that bastes the bird as it roasts. A goose feeds fewer people than a big turkey, but memorably.
Should I keep the goose fat?
Absolutely. A goose gives up a remarkable amount of fat as it roasts. Pour it off, jar it, and keep it in the fridge for roast potatoes through the winter. Many would say it is half the point of the bird.
How do I roast a goose?
Prick the skin, season, and roast the bird on a rack so the fat can drain as it renders. Pour the fat off two or three times during cooking. The legs want longer than the breast, so rest the bird well before carving.
What do your geese eat?
Grass, mostly. Geese are natural grazers, and ours roam family farm pastures eating as geese have always eaten. That grazing diet is what gives the meat its depth and the fat its clean flavour.
Should I order my Christmas goose in advance?
Yes. Because our geese are reared slowly to the season, numbers are finite each year. Ordering ahead secures your bird; you can choose a December delivery date at checkout.
