Join our Maple Leaf Farms family and learn about our journey from small entrepreneurship to fourth generation family business.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Four Generations and more than 60 years later, Maple Leaf Farms duck continues to create culinary experiences for kitchen tables and restaurants around the world. Our farm to fork focus and vertical integration ensures that you are getting the tastiest duck produced in a sustainable and humane manner.

We knew from the start that treating our ducks right is our top priority. That's why we put care into every step of farming, feeding, and processing. We developed the first and only duck well-being guidelines with veterinarians and poultry scientists from all over the country. Our Trident Stewardship Program is the leading duck care program in the world.

Our sustainable focus continues in our local processing plants, which continually work to reduce materials and expand recycling programs. By optimizing trucking and even delivering products directly to your door from our online store, we continue to improve our farm to fork process.

Treating our employees right is just as important as treating our ducks right and delivering top quality products. Our employees are the lifeline of our company, and we consider them all part of our Maple Leaf Farms family. Our invaluable team has made us the top market leader in the duck industry for over 40 years. We grow together daily to create the best possible products for you.

Maple Leaf Farms Duck allows you to get creative in the kitchen. Take your taste buds on an adventure and bring out your inner foodie with our classic duck breast, our famous Roast Half Duck or innovative items like Duck Brats, Duck Bacon, or Duck appetizers.
