The Kirchers' goose farm is located on the right bank of the Rhine near Mettmann. Heidi Hein-Kircher grew up here, but chose a career as a historian. When her parents were already looking for a tenant farmer, Heidi met a real farmer in Johannes. So the farm remained in family hands. Today, Heidi commutes between the farm and the university, Johannes takes care of the day-to-day business on the farm, her parents look after the kitchen and garden, and her daughters Johanna and Elisabeth go to school.

Johannes Kircher raises about a thousand geese every year in species-appropriate conditions. The geese eat on the pasture during the day and only have to go into the barn in the evening so that the fox doesn't get them. At the beginning of November, at St. Martin's Day, the animals are fully grown. Heidi makes the St. Martin's goose with an apple and prune stuffing, served with red cabbage. Heidi thinks that not much can go wrong with the roast if you cook with simple ingredients.
In the Rhineland, "Saint Martin" is celebrated with large lantern parades. Elisabeth and her school class have baked yeast dough buns in memory of Bishop Saint Martin. On 11 November, the anniversary of his death, his good deeds are commemorated in Mettmann and the best-known story, in which he shares his coat with a beggar, is acted out every year.

Heidi and Johannes share a passion for hunting and meet regularly with other hunters to blow horns. For the hunting friends, Heidi prepares sauerbraten of venison. The leg of wild boar marinates in vinegar pickle for several days. For Rhineland-style sauerbraten, the sauce is prepared with sultanas and the hunters blow the horn signal "to the table".
