After getting married in 2016, Megan and Morgan moved into an old farmhouse in Marion, New York, ready to build a life rooted in creativity and simple living. After welcoming their two children in 2015 and 2017, Thicket and Stone was founded, turning their love for craftsmanship into a thriving business selling laser-cut and engraved wood signs and decor.

Their adventure in goose farming began in 2020 with a small flock of five American Buff goslings. Morgan knew he wanted to raise a backyard flock of some kind, and after researching chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, they settled on geese. They enjoyed the geese so much that a couple of years later they decided to grow the flock even more, and added some French Toulouse goslings into the mix. The flock has continued to grow since then, and now includes Embden geese along with their French Toulouse and the original American Buff “ladies”.

With all of those geese came a surplus of eggs - too many for a family of 4. So Thicket and Stone began selling farm-fresh goose eggs. Goose eggs are very large and rich compared to chicken eggs, and therefore excellent in baking and custard making. Megan, who has a passion for baking, loves to use fresh goose eggs (when available) in her homemade cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies and custards. In the summer of 2026, Thicket and Stone was officially approved by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets as a registered Home Processor. This approval allows them to to sell baked goods made in their home kitchen.

Over the years, Morgan (being the primary goose handler and care-taker), has become very knowledgeable about all things goose-related. He’s taken a special interest in hatching and raising goslings. Thicket and Stone is now excited to offer their pasture-raised goslings for sale, as well as older grow-out geese and fertilized eggs for hatching when available.

In the spring of 2026 Megan and Morgan decided to build a small roadside farm stand on their property. The farm stand (coming soon - anticipated opening Spring 2027) will be a central hub for all products that Thicket and Stone offers, from baked goods and fresh goose eggs to farmhouse style decor pieces and home-grown produce.

From the workshop to the pasture, everything at Thicket and Stone is made with care and attention to detail on their small family farm in Wayne County.
