Additionally, their perfectly balanced duck legs are ideal for braising or transforming into delectable confit.
Elevated Animal Welfare
Thriving in spacious, cage-free environments and nurtured within open barns, Hudson Valley ducks receive exceptional care and attention. They are nourished with a proprietary vegetarian blend of corn and soy, completely free from antibiotics and growth hormones. Dedicated farmers diligently oversee each flock throughout their entire lifecycle, adapting techniques to ensure optimal care tailored to the unique needs of the ducks. At Hudson Valley, they believe in minimizing waste and maximizing sustainability. Even after processing, every part of the animal serves a purpose. Feathers are repurposed for cozy down products, skin is rendered and made available for sale, and bones find new life in creating nutritious broth and pet food.

Nurturing a strong sense of community, Hudson Valley Farms is home to on-site housing for their farmers, fostering collaboration and care. The commitment extends beyond their grounds, as they proudly sponsor a free health care clinic for employees and the local community, while also nurturing a vibrant community garden. Engaging in charitable initiatives, they actively partner with esteemed organizations like City Harvest, Meals on Wheels, and Autism Speaks.
