Feed Free-Range!
Sold as whole birds here at the farm, they are individually hand processed and packaged on-site. My birds are raised in small batches twice a year. I could raise more, but the meat quality and special attention they require would be lacking, this way, they are raised and processed compassionately.
Offered here as part of the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet for pet owners concerned about giving their pets the right food to maintain health and to prevent or treat allergies.

Muscovy Duck $4.50 per pound
Raised Free & Humanely without grow-lights, antibiotics or pesticides and harvested at 12 weeks to ensure consistency in weight and tenderness. Hens average 3 1/2 to 5 lb. and drakes average 7 to 9 lb. High in meat-to-bone ratio, with less weight loss after cooking than Pekin ducks. Low in fat with a wonderful veal-like texture and flavor. Excellent when roasted whole, this one is best served rare to medium rare. See recipes here
At 98% or greater fat free, Muscovy meat is one of the healthiest on the market today. It's lean and not at all greasy, as is the case with commercial duck. Many say the breast meat of a Muscovy is hard to tell from a Sirloin steak; others compare the meat flavor to an expensive ham, I believe the breast has the texture of veal. Either way, it is as unique as it is tasty and nutritious.

Heirloom Roaster Chicken $3.50 per pound
Humanely raised on pasture without grow-lights, antibiotics or pesticides and harvested at 12 weeks to ensure consistency in weight and tenderness. Hens average 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 lb. and cockerels average 4 1/2 to 6 lb. These birds are young, tender, and very meaty. Excellent for roasting, grilling, or frying.
These are not itty bitty birds - they are BIG roasting chickens!

Cayuga Duck $3.50 per pound
Raised Free & Humanely without grow-lights, antibiotics or pesticides. Hens average 2 1/2 to 3 lb. and drakes average 3 to 3 1/2 . This duck is a lean & flavorful, medium-sized roaster. As a heritage breed, the breast is small but extremely flavorful. The thigh possesses a succulent, deep red meat with a complex beefy flavor. See recipes here
While most commonly roasted to medium-well, Cayuga is outstandingly versatile. It's wonderful grilled with a sage marinade or braised with tomatoes, red wine and a bouquet garni. Duck meat is also remarkably flavorful when made into lean sausage and used in all sorts of delicacies, from meatballs to stuffed grape leaves.
