Our Mission
Natural Produce For Our Community
Our mission at Lazy Duck Pastures is twofold. First, we strive to provide farm-fresh produce that was sustainably and naturally raised. We put our birds on green grass where they can forage and behave naturally. Second, we aim to leave the land better than we found it. By spreading nutrients, boosting soil health, and encouraging biodiversity, we are keeping the future in mind while providing the customers of today with the kinds of foods their grandparents remember.
Our History
Where It All Began
Ryan has always been a little bit ducky. When he married bird-nerd Megan in 2016, they knew that their future contained feathers. Fast-forward to 2021 when they bought 80 acres in Ava, MO, and their dreams unfolded. By combining Ryan's knowledge of ducks and carpentry background and Megan's avian science experience, they built Lazy Duck Pastures to realize their goals of creating a healthy, sustainable, and ecological lifestyle for their family.
