Ducks & Geese: Private One-on-One Workshop 🦆💦
Unlock the joy of waterfowl! From giant eggs to the best garden pest control, learn how to raise these birds on the homestead.
Waterfowl are incredible producers and famously cold-hardy, but they definitely have a "splashy" way of doing things! If you’ve been warned that ducks are "too messy" or geese "are mean," let me show you the Everything Homemade way to manage them with ease. Join me at the farm for a Private One-on-One workshop session where we dive into the world of domestic waterfowl.
In this 3-hour hands-on experience, we’ll walk through our flocks setup and show you how to harness their unique personalities to benefit your garden and your breakfast table.
