Pasture raised Muscovy drakes are large meaty birds. Native to South America, their meat definitely tastes like duck, but has a texture closer to veal, and is significantly leaner. This is a very versatile bird. We sometimes roast them whole, and sometimes grill or sear the breast and cut into medallions, serving with a fruit compote. We often cook the legs long and slow in red wine, or prepare confit.

Reserve your pre-ordered FRESH holiday duck here! You are placing a nonrefundable DEPOSIT of $25 to reserve your Pasture Raised bird. The final price is based on $12/pound. Please expect a bird of 5-7 pounds, please do not expect a final price of $25.

Unlike commercial white Pekin ducks, these heritage breeds are multicolored. Please expect some residual dark feathers under the skin. They do not affect the flavor of the meat. Average weight 5-6 pounds
