Mr. and Mrs. Goose
Farm Mascots (seasonal)
A devoted pair of Canada Geese have chosen the farm location as their nesting place for the past three years. Since these geese mate for life, they return each Spring to lay eggs and even bring their grown kids home with them! You may see them swimming on the pond or relaxing with their babies in the yard.
