The prices for traditional roast goose in Saxony remain at the same level as last year. According to the Saxon Poultry Industry Association (GWV), the price for a fresh goose from German production is around 20 euros per kilogram. Frozen goods from Germany are expected to cost around 15 euros per kilogram.
Lorenz Eskildsen also confirms this. He runs two farms in Saxony under the same name with goose markets in Wermsdorf (district of North Saxony) and Königswartha (district of Bautzen). According to Eskildsen, the price per kilo for a fresh goose this year is 21.95 euros - the same as last year.
Each year, Eskildsen slaughters around 30,000 animals for sale in its own farm stores and in small regional businesses. Pre-orders are not necessary there. The goods are restocked every day in the farm stores and "there is always availability", says Eskildsen.
