Geese and Their Contribution to the Permaculture Homestead

11/16/2022

 
Let’s go beyond fundamentals of goose keeping and I’ll share how I use these amazing animals on my homestead. While many farms use geese for meat and eggs, their role here is more about stacking functions and taking part in the farm ecosystem. In this video I’m sharing:

Basics
  • Quantity of birds
  • Feed
  • Water
  • Housing
  • Breeding aggression

Permaculture Uses
  • Breed conservation
  • Fertilization
  • Weed and lawn grazing
  • Pasture rotation participation
  • Flock guardians
  • Vineyard and orchard maintenance

Get my FREE download called “Which Breed of Goose is Right for My Farm?” here and you can  also find my articles on geese Backyard Poultry Magazine.

This historic six-acre permaculture farm is home to two Clydesdale horses, ten honeybee hives, five sheep, two guardian dogs, barn cats and a flock of 40 geese and ducks. The farm produces maple syrup, fruit from a small orchard and loads of garden produce for consumption, preservation and donation to the local food pantry.
