Our approach to stewarding ducks is to create an environment for them that is as close to natural as possible
Why?
Because we believe ducks that live naturally result in the healthiest and most nutrient dense eggs and meat
In the wild, ducks have a varied diet that depends on their environment and the availability of food sources
Here’s what they typically eat:
1. Aquatic Plants and Algae:
Ducks forage in ponds, lakes, and rivers, eating aquatic vegetation such as duckweed, pondweed, and algae
🦆
2. Insects and Invertebrates:
Ducks eat a variety of insects, worms, snails, and small crustaceans like shrimp. These are essential sources of protein, particularly for egg layers and during breeding season
🦆
3. Small Fish and Amphibians:
Some species, especially diving ducks, will hunt small fish and amphibians
🦆
4. Seeds and Grains:
Ducks also consume seeds from grasses, wild grains, and plants, often feeding in wetlands or grasslands where these are abundant
🦆
5. Fruits and Berries:
Certain ducks will eat small fruits or berries, particularly when they are available in the wild during certain seasons
In general, ducks are opportunistic feeders and will eat what they can find, adapting their diet based on availability throughout the seasons

Our ducks roam freely and forage in the forest
Much of our work involves nurturing healthy pond ecosystems to ensure they can support a wide variety of life which creates abundant food for our ducks
We also grow greens, grains and wild berry bushes in the forest which provides plenty of delicious food to keep our ducks healthy and happy
