Muscovy Ducks

Lean, Flavorful, Gourmet Meat.

Raising Muscovy ducks for meat offers a unique and delectable culinary experience. Muscovy duck meat is prized for its distinctive flavor profile – it's lean, tender, and known for a rich, succulent taste that sets it apart from other poultry.

The meat is often described as more similar to fine beef or game meat than traditional poultry, making it a delightful addition to homestead meals.

Muscovy ducks' natural foraging behavior and varied diet contribute to the complexity of their meat's flavor, infusing it with hints of the environments they explore. Whether roasted, grilled, or used in various culinary dishes, Muscovy duck meat is a gourmet delight that adds a special touch to the homesteader's dining experience.

We keep Muscovy Ducks mostly for our personal consumption.

Chickens

A homestead staple.

On our homestead, we specialize in producing top-quality chickens for both meat and eggs, offering a diverse range of breeds including Olive Eggers, Easter Eggers, and our unique Barnyard Mix. These chickens are bred for their exceptional meat quality, ensuring a flavorful and tender dining experience. Additionally, our hens lay beautiful, colorful eggs that not only add visual appeal to your breakfast table but also offer rich, delicious flavors. With our selection, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – premium meat and farm-fresh eggs – all from the comfort of your own home, bringing a touch of our farm's excellence to your kitchen.

Barnyard Mix Our current rooster is a Barred Rock, leading a group of hens capable of laying eggs in a variety of colors. This specially curated flock was designed to mature at the same rate, ensuring prolific egg-laying while providing substantial carcass size for meat enthusiasts.

Olive EggersWe're currently working on F2 Olive Eggers, a unique breed born from crossing an olive-laying hen with a Black Copper Maran rooster. This breeding process deepens the color of the olive eggs even further than the F1 generation, which is also available in our Barnyard Mix.

Easter Eggers Our Black Ameraucana rooster is essential for adding the rich blue egg gene to our hens. These hens contribute to the diversity of our egg offerings, laying white, brown, or blue eggs.

We conduct hatching activities during the fall season allowing us to hatch a few or even up to a hundred eggs. We do not hatch during turkey season (March - October) If you're interested in our hatchery services or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to provide further information.
