Liberty Ducks

With Restaurants Closed, Bay Area Farmers Are Now Trying to Sell Direct to Customers | Eater SF

"I rely on Jim and Jen Reichardt of Liberty Ducks in West Petaluma for the fattest, meaty, juicy Pekin ducks that fuel the wildly popular duck platters at restaurants such as the Progress, the Morris, and Mister Jiu’s; the fourth- and fifth-generation family sources a particular French strain, feeds them more and raises them longer for that quintessential flavor, had roughly 90 percent of their business direct to restaurants, are currently producing about 2,000 ducks a week for the coming months, and are scrambling to pivot to farmers market stands, CSA boxes, and online ordering while worrying that grocery demand will favor chicken over duck." - Becky Duffett
