Founded in 1994 by Eugene and Helena Hickey, our business began with a vision to breathe new life into a dairy farm that had been struggling to remain profitable. After inheriting the farm in 1988, they faced a challenging dairy market, but with Helena’s business background and a deep-rooted passion for farming, they knew a change was needed. The farm had always reared poultry for Christmas, which sparked the idea to diversify and start raising ducks for the local markets and shops.
To support this new venture, the Hickeys converted and built sheds in the farmyard to rear and process ducks. This decision marked the beginning of a thriving business. As demand for their products grew, it became clear that the farmyard was no longer sufficient to support their expanding operations. In 2004, they built a large rearing facility just outside the farmyard, giving them the space to continue producing high-quality poultry.
In 2014, the business took another major step forward by moving into a state-of-the-art 5,000 square-foot modern factory, allowing them to further streamline processes and expand production.
Today, three generations of the Hickey family are proudly involved in every aspect of the business—from rearing and processing to cooking the duck products. We continue to grow, proudly supplying every corner of the country with fresh, locally raised duck.
We pride ourselves in providing the best duck in Ireland. Throughout our journey, we’ve remained committed to the values of hard work, innovation, and quality that have been the foundation of our success. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing our tradition of providing our customers with exceptional duck products for many years to come.
