What is this Taste?

Duck eggs taste much like a chicken egg. Depending upon your taste buds, duck eggs have been described as richer or more creamy.

YOLK -The yolk is larger making more space available for natural antibodies.

WHITE – Due to a different protein content, the albumen is clear and cooks faster than chicken eggs so cook on low heat.

SHELL – Be prepared to crack a hard shell. The hard shell is what extends the shelf life of duck eggs.

FREE RANGE – Ducks are better grazers than chickens.

Why should I come try it?

Because duck eggs are healthier for you!

Duck eggs are better than chicken eggs in almost every way. With superior nutritional values compared to chicken eggs: more vitamins, minerals, alkalinity, freshness, allergen safety, caloric energy, protein and even baking perks.

Many people allergic to chicken eggs can eat duck eggs.

Our duck eggs are 50% larger than a large chicken egg.

Baked goods typically rise 20% more with duck eggs.
