About the Breed
The Toulouse Goose is a heritage French breed known for its calm temperament and impressive size.
Originally from the Toulouse region of France, these large, stately geese are known for their gentle nature and excellent foraging abilities. They have a distinctive dewlap under their bill and loose skin folds on their abdomen, giving them a dignified appearance. Our Toulouse geese help maintain our pastures while providing eggs and meat for the farm.
