About Our Farm

Professional Local Farm

Lazy Duck Pastures is a local family-run farm that has been producing delicious fresh poultry products since 2022.

Our birds live their lives on pasture, so you can be sure you are buying the best quality produce that nature has to offer.

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.

"Life isn't about winning or losing. Between those two extremes there is a middle ground, and that middle ground is where I let my ducks roam and graze on and lay their eggs-- which are now ON SALE"

-Jarod Kintz
