The Problem
Ducks that have been previously frozen then thawed for the store do not have to be labeled as "previously frozen". When temperatures get too chilly, ice pokes holes in the cell membranes of the duck. Ducks at the supermarket could be 6 months old!
Our Food Fix
We partner with thoughtful farmers who raise their ducks for maximum flavor. Being pasture-raised means ducks actually spend time outside (crazy!) where the majority of their food comes from the bugs and grass they freely forage. This natural diet leads to a healthy lifestyle so that antibiotics and hormones are never part of the process. All of this results in a tender and juicy centerpiece for your Thanksgiving celebration.
