About Us
Our breed of duck is Pekin duck, because we live so close to Roaring Water bay, the salt air effects adds to the texture of the duck giving a salt marsh flavour.
- Eugene and his parents reared and processed geese and turkeys for Christmas
- 1994 – Eugene and Helena started with 30 ducks, killed and plucked by hand and received a leader grant to build a processing unit
- Over the years, the numbers had grown considerably to the business it is today
- 2015 new factory built and ready to go for further processing with a full cooking unit
