Farming - Birralee, Tasmania, Australia
We're Bec and Paul from Lone Goose Farm. New to Tasmania and to farming, we made the move (and giant leap of faith) because we're passionate about sustainable, regenerative and ethical food production. It's all about taste and animal welfare for us - we believe if you're going to eat meat, be sure that animal has had the best life possible, it will come through in the flavour. We're currently building our breeding flock of Muscovy ducks, and should be selling at local Farmers Markets and to restaurants across Tassie just in time for Christmas in 2020. If you haven't tried Muscovy duck then you're missing out! Muscovy has a delicious flavour, is larger, and is slightly leaner than commercial birds. We're on a vertical learning curve at the moment, but what we lack in agricultural experience, we make up for in determination and tenacity! We do get to apply our previous work experience every single day at the farm, and feel that those skills are equally as important as the agricultural ones. So we'll be sharing them here from time to time.
