DescriptionThese pasture-raised Pekin ducks from Sara's Spring Chicken 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. These incredible 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.
