"More evident is the remembrance that resides in their everyday sentiment; the lasting sense of family, friendship, community and comradery that prospers in Imde today. "
It was this friendship and solidarity that inspired Imdehof’s and Ganzenhof’s current proprietors to reignite lost traditions. The Goose of Flanders was now critically endangered, and cider had long lost its tap. Before long the people of Imde were celebrating Ganzenhof’s first vintage.
Passionate about cider, a desire for excellence and with an uncompromising attention to detail began a journey to create a contemporary cider which was to become recognised for its crisp elegance, lightness and distinct character.
With a spirit of creativity, and unabating demand, Ganzenhof expanded its annual production to produce today’s exquisite collection of the finest Belgian ciders. Every bottle today is still produced with the same
meticulous attention to detail, aspirations for excellence, and respect for the fruit, orchards, and the environment. Respect for tradition, and the central role of bringing people together will lie at the heart of Ganzenhof for generations to come.
tradition
"The Flanders Goose can still be seen grazing the meadows and orchards of Imde today."
(Goose of Flanders, Oie Flamande) grazed freely in the orchards,
meadows and fields and even along the roadsides of Flanders and much of Europe.
Imde was once home to one of the most important flocks of Geese in Flanders.
The Ganzenhof ‘Goose House’, home of the goose keeper of Imde still stands besides Imdehof today.
From here the goose keeper could herd his flock through the fields and orchards of Impdehof
maintaining the lawns and the orchard floor neatly mown with his flock of geese.
Legend has it that it was he who would collect the fruits of the orchard from which he would make cider.
By 1994, in Belgium, there were only 30 females and 20 males of the breed recorded. The World Conservation
Union still classes the Flanders Goose’s conservation status as critical today. Imdehof is dedicated to conserving the breed, and maintains a beautiful flocks of Flanders Geese. The Flanders Goose can still be seen grazing the roadsides, meadows and orchards of Imde today.
