Now available from the Genuine Faux Farm:
Pasture raised Muscovy duck.
Muscovy are preferred by many chefs due to the low fat content and excellent flavor. In fact, Muscovy duck have less fat content than Peking duck, turkey, lamb, beef and pork. These ducks also have higher protein levels than other ducks, lamb, beef and pork. Muscovy's have an average of 50% more breast meat than other ducks.
Our birds are raised humanely. In addition to foraging, these birds are provided with a feed mix with organic grains by Frantzen Farms in New Hampton. The birds love to dunk their head in water and have very sharp claws on their feet that make catching them a challenge. The drakes (males) are usually about twice the size of the hens (females) at maturity.
We have hens that average 4.5 pounds and drakes that average 8.5 pounds. These are available to all who are interested. You may reserve a bird and indicate whether you would prefer a hen or a drake. Price for hens is $6.75/lb and drakes are $6.50/lb. You may reserve a duck by signing up at Hansen's Outlet or by sending an email to gff@genuinefauxfarm.com
Ducks are available for arranged pick up at this time.
