Free Range Geese

Description

Supplied by Great Grove poultry, Whews Farm, Caston, Attleborough, Norfolk

Great Grove Farm specialises in producing quality turkeys and geese just for the Christmas market. The farm is approx. 35 acres in size and covered in woodland and grassland which is used to rear the poultry in a stress-free environment.

We believe this is the tastiest and most succulent poultry that you can buy. This is achieved through the various traditional methods that they have continued to use over several years of producing quality poultry. Although this is a much more expensive way of rearing and processing compared to today’s factory methods, the end result is far superior.

Arriving in May and June direct from the hatchery they are cared for by dedicated stockmen who take pride in their work. Once old enough the birds are left to wander in ancient woodland and, as with the geese, basically do as they please, living naturally. They have access to straw-bedded barns at night, but quite often choose to sleep outside depending on the weather.

Everything is traditionally prepared, dry plucked and hand finished on the farm, graded and hung in large chillers (minimum 10 days) to add all the natural flavours that this type of production depends on. The premises is regularly inspected by the EHO to comply with all the rigorous standards.
