Benefits of raising ducks on a regenerative farm:

1. Pest control

Ducks are natural foragers and will control population levels of slugs, snails and insects

Pest patrol > pesticide

🦆

2. Soil fertility

Duck droppings are rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen. This enhances soil fertility and promotes healthier crops

Duck poop > synthetic fertilizer

🦆

3. Weed management

Ducks graze on young weeds and help provide natural weed control which reduces competition for crops

Weed patrol > herbicide

🦆

4. Biodiversity enhancement

Integrating ducks into a farm increases biodiversity which helps create more resilient pond ecosystems

🦆

5. Meat and egg production

Ducks offer a sustainable source of meat and eggs which nourish our family and generate income for the farm

🦆

6. Aesthetic value

Ducks add charm and beauty to a farm and offer opportunities for unique farm education and visitor experiences

🦆

Overall, ducks support ecological health and enhance productivity and resilience of the land

As soon as our pond is finished we'll be getting ducks for sure!
