Any duck purveyors besides D'Artagnan?

Haven’t been impressed with D’Artagnan duck breasts lately, shoddy butchering and small size. Any other high quality duck breasts out there?

I buy Hudson Valley magret. They are huge, like a pound each. Never been disappointed.

Same here. Size seems to depend on the season. I’ve seen 3/4 pounds to almost 1.25 pounds.

Thank you for the suggestion!

The last few from D’Artagnan have been 3-4 oz with skin missing, breasts cut wrong, just shoddy buchering.

“The only duck farm in America with…a full-time duck welfare specialist to train employees and conduct duck welfare audits”. Pretty cool!

explains why duck welfare is not a widely chosen major in schools. Not a lot of career options.

Who wants to host a blind duck tasting?

You should!! I’ll bring wine.

+1 for tastyduck. I buy duck legs in bulk from them and make duck confit to last the winter :slight_smile:

As long as it’s not in a duck blind out of season.
