Keeping Geese
by SandraWilson
We have been keeping geese as a family for over 20 years. Mostly it has been my youngest daughter and I who have been the ones to bring the geese home. In that time, we have had some adventures with our geese, and this article is a collection of very short tales about those adventures as well as some lessons learned.The image to the left is of our last mated pair of geese. These are Toulouse geese.
Old New England Farms In Postcards
