Product details
The duck egg is increasingly popular in home kitchens since it is a great alternative to chicken eggs for baking cakes and breads. Their bright, creamy, high-protein and high-fat yolks create a rich, light and moist result. Farmer Joy collects eggs from ducks and chickens that enjoy the pastured life on her family's 6th generation farm in West Marin County. Duck eggs are about 2 ½ inches long and 1 ¼ in diameter, which is about 30 percent larger than a chicken egg. Not certified organic.
***
These ducks forage on certified organic pasture, feasting all day on bugs, frogs/tadpoles, fish, grasses and seeds. In the evening, they are fed conventional lay pellets, which do contain soy and corn. Soy contains a nutrient that allows egg laying. Without this nutrient, we would have to create a custom mix of feed to duplicate it, increasing the prices of our eggs significantly.
About the producer
Farmer Joy collects eggs from ducks and chickens that enjoy the pastured life on her family's 6th generation farm in West Marin County's Chileno Valley. What started as twelve chicken hens to lay eggs for the family table has grown over the past five years to 1000 laying hens and 80 duck hens. After swimming and foraging all day on organic grasses and bugs, the ducks gather in the barn for a meal of conventional grains and fresh water, then are secured for the night. These are truly happy ducks who bring nutritious eggs for us to share.
