Pasture-raised, Pekin Aylesbury duck marylands confited with herbs and duck fat. One of our favourite fast foods.
Pasture-raised at Tathra Place Farm, these ducks are an Aylesbury/Pekin cross giving good breast meat yield and lovely light golden fat.
About Tathra Place Farm
Luke and Pia Winder, an energetic couple with three young children, run Tathra Park, a 100 acre mixed enterprise farm, 10 minutes north of Taralga in the NSW Southern Tablelands. With significant remnant forested areas on a mix of flat and sloping land it is an ideal environment for the rotational grazing system, championed by American farmer, Joel Salatin and faithfully reproduced by the Winders. There are many aspects to this system but principally it involves each of the different species spending limited time in any one paddock, and then having that paddock left for extended rest periods of 4 - 10 months to allow for re-sowing and pasture recovery.
At nearly 1000 m above sea level, snow in Winter is not uncommon. The upside of that is that it rarely gets above mid-30’s in Summer, which is good, because ducks can handle the cold, but not the heat. That also goes for the cattle, pigs and egg chickens that thrive on this highly productive farm.
The farm is supplied by pure bore water from the nearby Wombeyan Caves aquifer and it's crystal clear. The water is pumped to a central reservoir and is reticulated around the entire farm giving all the animals constant access to clean unpolluted water, a critical but often overlooked requirement for the production of high quality meat and poultry.
