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

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...

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.
