FARM-FRESH PEKIN DUCK RAISED RIGHT HERE IN TALLAHASSEE

We've just finished processing our pasture-raised Pekin ducks, and they're ready for your table!

These birds were raised the old-fashioned way outdoors, well-fed, and cared for by hand from day one. If you've only ever had grocery store duck, you're in for something special. Rich flavor, beautiful golden fat (save it — duck fat potatoes will change your life).

✅ Whole dressed ducks, ground or breast
✅ Limited quantity
✅ Pickup in Tallahassee or get delivered

Perfect for a Sunday roast, holiday dinner, or trying your hand at confit. Not sure how to cook one? Ask us we'll happily share our favorite methods.

RESTAURANTS & CHEFS: Interested in a local duck source for your menu? Message us about availability and pricing for multiple birds.

DM us or email to reserve yours. First come, first served!

Why hospitals on the East Coast can no longer afford to ignore local food! (Join our network to learn more about AFTI's work connecting Farm to Healthcare.)

$12 billion. That's what American hospitals spend on food every year. Most of it never touches a local farm. The research is clear: patients who eat fresh, locally sourced meals recover faster, get readmitted less, and rate their care higher. Food is not a comfort variable in healthcare. It is a clinical one. AFTI (American Farm to Institute) connects East Coast hospitals with regional farms that deliver fresh food within 48 hours of harvest. We handle compliance, logistics, and supply chain management so hospitals can focus on what they do best. Every patient deserves food that's actually trying to help them heal. www.farmtoinstitute.com
