I started a small farm this year, and this was my first meal sourced from my own plants and poultry!

That's very cool - what else do you keep on your farm?

I have a duck in my freezer that I may need to start thawing now...

Currently I keep a handful of chickens and ducks that I'm raising for eggs and meat, my veggie garden has tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, peas, and potatoes growing, and I just put seeds down for squash and cantaloupe! The goal this year is to be as self-sustaining as possible with scraps fed to the birds and their manure fertilizing the plants

Nice, good luck! Would love to see more of what you make from your farm!

Nice!!! The feeling of using your own ingredients is unparalleled 👌

Did the duck taste gamey or mild? (I'm assuming mild because of feed, but curious to know, I was gifted wild duck that tasted like absolute ass).

Very mild, it tasted just like a steak. I haven't had the opportunity to have wild duck, I assume it's an acquired taste like grass-fed lamb.
