Our Philosophy
At BCG Goose Farm, resourcefulness and sustainability are more than principles—they’re a way of life. Guided by a strong commitment to recycling and inventive thinking, we’ve built our farm by giving new purpose to materials from past ventures and beyond. From restaurant equipment repurposed for our processing trailer to a mobile home transformed into our incubation barn, we continuously find creative ways to reduce waste and enhance value.
Our first homemade incubator set up in a renovated mobile home and the interior view, featuring a manual turning wheel and goose eggs ready for hatching.

Natural Resources
We believe in using natural resources wisely. During winter, we grow and harvest elephant grass to feed our geese, supplementing their diet with nutritious mulberry leaves from our nearly 100 mulberry trees. These practices not only reduce costs but also ensure our geese enjoy a healthy, natural diet year-round.
Ingenuity in Action
Our approach may not be high-tech, but it's built on hard work and ingenuity. Our first incubator was built from a solid wood waterbed frame, and we've used tin and scrap metal from various sources. We take pride in making the most of what we have, ensuring that our farm thrives through resourcefulness and a love for what we do.
