About the Farm

Background

The farm has established itself as a prominent provider of ducklings and goslings across the United States, with a wide variety of breeds available for different purposes such as meat, eggs, companionship, weeding, insect control, and aesthetic appeal. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include fresh duck eggs sold at local farmers markets and by mail, as well as specialized products like salted duck eggs and balut for Asian customers, and blown eggs for egg decorating enthusiasts.

Practices

The farm emphasizes the breeding and hatching of ducks and geese, ensuring a diverse genetic pool with 17 breeds of ducks and 14 breeds of geese. Their approach to farming includes careful selection and breeding practices to maintain the health and quality of their birds. They also cater to customers with specific dietary needs, such as those allergic to chicken eggs, by providing alternative duck eggs.

The Rest

In addition to live birds and fresh eggs, the farm offers a variety of products and resources for waterfowl enthusiasts, including books, equipment, and nutritional supplements. They provide detailed information and support for raising and caring for ducks and geese, making them a comprehensive resource for both novice and experienced poultry keepers.
