Well Christmas is over for another year, and what a Christmas it has been! We had almost completely sold out by the beginning of December, despite significantly increasing our numbers this year, and hadn’t a bird left on Christmas Day – we even nearly sold our own goose! That would not have gone down well! 

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our wonderful customers who make all the hard work worthwhile with their support and positivity. We hope you all enjoyed a fantastic Christmas, a delicious bird and lots of happiness.

Now our sights are set on 2014 – onwards and upwards! We are rearing darling and delicious Aylesbury ducks all year round (no rest for the wicked!) and we think they’re rather good...luckily so do some other folk – here are the kind words of Freddy Bird, the head chef at the lovely Clifton Lido;

"I have recently discovered a new farm who now supply us with their ducks (I hope soon they will be able to supply us beef, lamb and pork as well). Farmer Will and his sister rear Aylesbury ducks on a small scale. These free range ducks are reared, slaughtered and dry plucked (all on the farm) by this brother and sister team. I used to keep Aylesbury ducks as a child and have longed for a roast duck that tasted as good as they did – finally I have – in fact these trump any duck I have ever eaten! Just simply roasted these ducks are fantastic!"

Thank you Freddy, we're glad you approve! 

Wishing you all a very happy New Year,
