Our German free-range goose can be kept for at least 5 days after it arrives at your home or after it is picked up, at a maximum temperature of 6°C.
For optimal storage, we recommend storing between 0 and 4 °C.

We know our suppliers. This is particularly important to us when it comes to poultry. We guarantee that all of our poultry is raised without the preventive use of antibiotics. This is achieved through sufficient space, healthy feed and the selection of the right breeds. As we rely on free-range poultry, we get most of our supplies from France. This is the only place where we have farmers who can meet our quality and husbandry standards. But see for yourself.

With us you get more for your money, we promise! Because Freyberger's Plus guarantee is included with us! Most of our steaks, sausages and chickens are heavier than stated in the product description. And all of this without any additional charges, as you are used to from other shops. So you usually get more goods from us than you actually pay for!

How do you prepare a goose for Christmas?

In this country, the goose is traditionally stuffed at Christmas and served with red cabbage and dumplings. Whether you prepare a whole goose or just parts, such as goose leg or goose breast, depends on the size of the Christmas party. For larger groups, we recommend a whole animal, as this is the epitome of the festive meal. Goose leg and/or goose breast, on the other hand, are suitable for smaller parties or in case the guests prefer one of the two parts.

goose for Christmas

Free-range goose from the region: A goose at Christmas is a must in many German households. It is as much a part of Christmas as the Christmas tree and presents. Eating a goose at Christmas has a long tradition in this country. The origin of this festive meal goes back to Saint Martin (316/17 - 397). On his commemoration day on November 11th, roast goose was often served, as the subsequent Advent period used to have the character of Lent. This ended with midnight mass. In addition to this Christian tradition, growing prosperity during industrialization also played a role. The far more festive goose replaced roast pork ("Mettensau") at Christmas. But there are also other legends that explain the origin. In Great Britain, for example, Queen Elizabeth I is said to have eaten roast goose when the news of the victory of the Spanish Armada (1588) arrived. Since this was at Christmas time, she declared the goose a festive meal at Christmas.

roast goose ready

Preparing a whole goose for Christmas takes a certain amount of time. With larger animals, handling the free-range goose is not quite as easy due to its gross weight of around 4.5 kilograms. There is also the question of whether a goose roaster is available. This is why many customers have their Christmas goose ready to roast with us. This means they can concentrate on the side dishes and enjoy Christmas Day in a relaxed manner. If you want to eat a goose before Christmas, simply choose a date during Advent.

Why a German free-range goose?

A German free-range goose is the right decision in terms of animal welfare. These geese are kept in a species-appropriate manner. This means that each free-range goose has at least four square meters of space to roam. In free-range farming, ten square meters or unlimited space per goose is guaranteed. In addition, these legally defined forms of farming also specify the maximum number of animals that can live in one barn.

Why a free-range goose from the region?

With a German free-range goose from the region, we can guarantee that the animals have been kept in a species-appropriate manner. In addition, it takes six months to fatten goose in Germany. This is much longer than in many other EU countries, where the geese are sometimes fattened to their slaughter weight in ten weeks. We ensure that they are kept in a species-appropriate manner, and our fresh free-range geese come from the farmer Heiselbetz. However, animal welfare also means that fewer animals are available for the goose at Christmas than are in demand. We therefore recommend that you pre-order the free-range goose, goose breast or goose leg today.

Super Gans

Die Gans hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Metzgerei ist wohl eine der letzten Institutionen hier in Nürnberg, die perfekte Ware anbietet. Das merkt man auch an der belebten Verkaufsfläche. Top und immer wieder gerne, wir sind sogar extra von der anderen Seite der Stadt zu diesem Metzgerei gefahren, um unseren Weihnachtsgans zu beschaffen. Auch die anderen Dinge, die wir dann noch mitgenommen haben. Nebenbei waren hervorragend.
