Our free-range geese graze on the Herons Farm paddocks from four weeks old. The goose is a seasonal bird with the first egg being laid around Valentine’s Day and the laying period finishing in July.
Pork
We offer the very best in traditional British bacon. It is dry cured rind on and available in back or streaky and smoked or unsmoked. In addition, we produce our renowned Gloucester Black Bacon which has been marinated in real ale and molasses for a month before being dry cured for a further two weeks.
