Critically Rare American Buff Geese - Goslings Soon Arriving at a Farm Near You!

Our first 2015 American Buff Goose EGG arrived today so we'll have lots of fluffy cuties soon.  Send us an email at littleedenheirloomfarm@zoho.com and let us know if you would like to be on the waiting list and how many. The cost per gosling is $15 each, straight run. If you can't make it to Crawfordville we can meet you in Tallahassee on Monday or Wednesday.  Mondays at the New Sunshine Farmers' Market in Southwood near the Florida Dept. of Health from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Wednesdays at the Organic Growers' Market at Lake Ella from noon til dusk.  Tallahassee pickup must be prepaid so to encourage the buyer to not forget as we don't want the wee ones to just sit in a box all day. 

Don't miss the opportunity to have some of these rare and beautiful geese.  They are docile, a little testy during spring mating but otherwise sometimes noisy but all the time curious and great weeders/grass eaters. 

If you can't have one of these beauties but would like to support our efforts, we will start bringing feathers to the Farmers' Markets.  Some we'll have words stamped on them, i.e., "LOVE", "FOREVER", etc., others will be plain, natural and beautiful.  Breeds will include feathers of chicken, geese and/or guinea.  You are welcome to contact for shipping feathers to you. 

The American Buff Goose is on the critical list of heritage breeds at the Livestock Conservancy Organization.  Ron and I are striving to help as many breeds as we can from becoming extinct and will do so more and more as we are able to expand with more property for roomy pens.  We love animals and aim to help preserve more of these beautiful heritage livestock and poultry breeds.

Thank you so much for supporting our mission!
