Sadly the local wildlife finds our ducks irresistible.  For this reason we will not have ducks for meat or duck eggs available until the fall of 2024.

Our Ducks are Heritage breeds called Khaki Campbell.

We do occasionally have Fresh Duck available for your table, but most of our ducks are here for their egg production and the pure comedy they provide us.

Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, with a larger yolk-to-white ratio that makes them ideal for baked goods. Golden in color and rich in flavor, baked goods made with duck eggs tend to be moist and fluffy, rise better, and hold their shape well.

As of March 2024 we charge $6.00 per dozen for duck eggs.

What are the Benefits to Eating Duck Eggs?

• Duck eggs stay fresher longer, due to their thicker shell.
• Duck eggs are richer, with more albumen, which makes cakes and other pastries fluffier.
• Duck eggs have more Omega-3 fatty acids.
• People who cannot eat chicken eggs, due to allergies, can often eat duck eggs.

What About Nutrition?

I’ve read several articles on the nutrition of a duck egg. This article by Local Harvest claims duck eggs have twice the nutrients of chicken eggs. The information is debatable, though. When it comes down to the finer nutrients, such as Vitamin A, D, E, etc., duck eggs follow the same rule as chicken eggs: It depends on what the bird eats.

If you only allow your ducks to eat the lowest-quality poultry food, the eggs will not be as healthy as if the ducks are allowed to eat fortified feeds plus plants like algae, spinach, or grass. This is why eggs from backyard chickens are healthier than store-bought eggs. And this is how a farm-fresh duck egg can be healthier than an egg from ducks that don’t have a varied diet.
