Fossil Farms’ Pekin Ducks are raised by a third-generation family-owned farm in Pennsylvania. Our Pekin Ducks are raised in large, temperature-controlled free roaming barns. The Ducks are fed a nutritious diet of corn and soybeans sourced from local farms. They have a blush color, well-balanced flavor and are incredibly tender.
All of our Ducks are 100% naturally raised and are part of the “Never Ever Program,” where antibiotics, steroids and hormones are never used.
WHO WE ARE:
Fossil Farms is a mission driven company guided by a few core principles. We don't want to be the biggest, but we do want to be the BEST. This means consistently having the best quality products and the best service in the industry.
WHAT WE DO:
We are pioneers in healthy and sustainable alternatives to conventional red meat. Fossil Farms specializes in providing the highest quality farm raised game, game birds, exotic meats and all natural meats in the country.
Our standard of animal husbandry has focused on these core principles since 1997, when our founding farm was established:
Animals will be raised outdoors on pasture.
Animals will be raised without any use of growth hormones, subtherapeutic antibiotics or steroids.
Animals will be fed a diet of natural forage and when necessary, a blend of all natural vegetarian grains.
Animals will be raised in a manner that supports the well-being of the animal and the sustenance of the environment in which they are raised.
As our product line expanded into other species beyond Ostrich, we learned that what is suitable and sustainable for raising Ostrich does not always correlate to other animals. Our standards grew with this knowledge.
The core of our standards remains, but we account for some modifications that are suitable for specific species. For example: raising ducks on open pasture is not an effective means of producing high quality, consistent product year-round. It also does not afford the animals the protection they deserve from harsh weather elements and predators.
Fossil Farms' partnerships with farms and ranchers requires extensive research in animal raising practices and we visit each of our producers to ensure that our standards are maintained. We, also, continually develop and enhance these standards to improve the sustainability, environmental impact and quality of our products.
All sales are final.
