Delight in duck! Our pasture-raised Pekin ducks are tender, flavorful and rich. Chef Gabrielle Hamilton once had this to say about duck: "It's a friendly, high-yield perfection. With its crispy skin and juicy meat, it's the best of the birds; with its interesting depth of flavor, almost metallic iron-richness and relative cost, it rivals beef." We agree wholeheartedly, and we love to cook pastured duck for two reasons: the meat is delicious, and the fat that renders out is also amazing, and useful for cooking steak, vegetables or slathering on bread. Our pastured ducks are carefully raised by our network of poultry farmers in the mid-Atlantic, where they graze freely and have ample access to fresh water for bathing. Their diet includes GMO-free grain, plus grasses and legumes foraged from the pasture. They are never fed any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products.

Naf’s Tips
Duck is very rich -- even a little bit added to a salad will go a long way, so with creativity you can get a few meals out of one Whole Duck.
Cooking Methods
- Oven/Roast: Score or prick the skin before cooking in order to allow the fat to render out (you can expect 2 cups rendered duck fat from a whole roasted duck. Strain the schmaltz into a clean jar and store in your refrigerator to use with vegetables, potatoes, steak, challah and more.) Roast whole, draining the fat off periodically.
