They specialize in kosher organic meat and I get all of my meat from them (except when my husband begs for bacon. Then we have to trek over to a Whole Foods somewhere.) I got a huge duck (huge for us, anyway - the last time I got a duck was from a grocery store and it was half the size of this one) and I plan on roasting it using this recipe. I don't have sour cherries but this recipe looks so good I'm considering scouting out some! I am able to get organic duck from a local kosher butcher in my area.

It is funny how people use the word 'conventional' for farms that are FAR from conventional! I wouldn't call a factory farm conventional... It is possible to buy organic UK-reared ducks locally or by mail order. Foxes are the main predators here, I believe. Thanks for all the nutritional info. I wonder how duck compares to chicken? And I agree - the sourness of fruit is a perfect companion (think duck a l'orange, a real trad dish in the UK).

It looks beautiful too. I have no duck resources at all here in FL...maybe when we get up to VT? Who knows? But for now I will just drool at your dish. Sounds delicious! It looks beautiful too.
