The Journey​
​
Inspired by Ancient Wisdom, Wild Goose Farms draws its name from the ancient Celtic Christians of the 5th century. These devout individuals found God’s presence in nature, and their reverence for the Holy Spirit led them to adopt the wild goose as its symbol. The wild goose embodies untamed freedom—an apt representation of the Holy Spirit’s unpredictability.
​
This perspective guides our farming ventures. It’s a calling that takes us on unexpected roads, revealing God through His Spirit. Just like chasing a wild goose, our journey teaches us faith and trust. We embrace the adventure, drawing closer to Him. At Wild Goose Farms, we honor tradition while embracing the unknown.
