About us: Family business in the fourth generation
Geflügelhof Nobis GmbH is a mid-sized, family-owned company in Bakum-Vestrup (district of Vechta, Lower Saxony) specializing in the production and marketing of duck and goose meat. Most of the value chain is kept in-house: the farm keeps parent stock, rears young birds and carries out its own fattening, supplemented by established contract farmers from within a radius of at most 50 kilometers. Geese are raised free-range, ducks on straw. A defining feature of the processing is dry plucking without scalding water and without steam, in which the outer skin with its flavor and aroma compounds remains intact. Cutting, trimming and packaging are done by hand. Commercial customers from gastronomy, retail and further processing are supplied nationwide with fresh or frozen products in defined carton packs; the company also runs direct marketing through a farm shop and an online shop. The product range includes, alongside whole birds, cuts, confit duck legs and smoked poultry specialties.
