We have chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for eggs, sheep for meat and fiber, and cattle and pigs for beef and pork. Our chickens and ducks are completely free-range with plenty of pasture to eat, supplemented with organic feed grown right here in Central Illinois. Our heritage breed pigs are also pasture-raised and eat organic feed. Our Icelandic and mixed-breed sheep and Black Angus cattle are 1
00% grass-fed. We believe these practices are better for our animals, better for the environment, and better for our customers. Our family consists of Emma, a former librarian, Kiyoshi, an army veteran and former international aid worker, cats Kabocha, Mama, and Hattori-kun, and dogs Adzuki and Tengu. Kiyoshi is also a needlefelt artist, making lifelike sculptures of all kinds of animals using nothing but wool fibers and a barbed needle. We are located in Central Illinois and market our goods in the Chicago area. For the 2015 season, you can find Lucky Duck Farm selling eggs and chicken at the 61st St Farmers Market at the Experimental Station in Woodlawn/Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago. 6100 S. Blackstone Ave., Chicago, IL, Saturdays 9-2, mid-May to mid-October. You can also find our eggs most of the year at Open Produce, a fabulous grocery store at 55th and Cornell. Our meat is available through our meat CSA, which runs January to May. Shares are distributed once a month and include a variety of cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. Shares typically go on sale in the summer for the following winter, and sell out quickly.
