   "Pastured " simply means  free range of a pasture. Since our farm is our home, it is difficult and not profitable to let the poultry have free run of our entire yard and garden space. Instead we rotate our flocks in large, fresh  pasture areas Pekin Ducks
or mobile pens called "Tractors". Our birds have access to fresh grass, bugs, air, and sunshine everyday. This is actually more beneficial than most "Free range" systems, in which birds are just packed into a warehouse. With the lack of individual cages, they can be labeled "Free range", but still do not have the nutritional qualities of  pastured  poultry.  In addition to pasture, our ducks receive a supplemental  dose of grit, brewers yeast, fresh garlic, and a custom grind feed which contains no hormones, medications, or antibiotics.
     The most popular meat duck is the Pekin duck, from France to China. Duck meat is all dark, and when prepared properly, obtains a mouth-watering, crispy skin like no other. A delicious alternative to chicken! Don't be overwhelmed by the  preparation, check out our Duck Recipes page for easy cooking instructions.  pekin ducks
     Muscovy duck is lean, flavorful, and has 50% more breast meat than any other duck. The breast meat is 99% lean , and the skin had 50% less fat, but truly we can't tell the difference! Muscovy ducks are in general, larger, and has a higher yield than any other duck.
