Field Visit to Bangalow Ducks

Yesterday we were pleased to host our first field visit of the year to Bangalow Ducks.  Bangalow Ducks is owned and operated by AJ Scott and has recently moved to a larger farm in Kyogle. This visit gave us an opportunity to inspect the new facilities and learn more about his pasture raised Pekin ducks.

At Fino we strongly believe in the benefits of learning more about our food production.  Terms like 'organic' and 'sustainable' are so widely used but are no substitute for actually investigating yourself.

If you are a client of ours and are interested in coming along on one of our next field visits please don't hesitate to let us know info@finofoodandwine.com.au.



Ducklings.

The ducklings are grown in sheds until they are large enough to survive out doors.

The ducks are released onto beautiful fresh pasture.


As a rain shower came in from the mountains, the ducks all turned to face it.  They love water.

Locheilan Triple Cream Brie, Pastilla Nash, Brew Bakers Bread and a few Coopers.

We just had time for a quick fish in the creek.
