Daring Drake Farm

Daring Drake Farm is a family owned orchard with a flock of free range ducks for egg production. The orchard is a diverse mix of fruits including apples, pears, quince, plums, cherries, grapes, raspberries, currants and gooseberries. They use only organically approved measures to produce all of their high quality fruit. They provide the ducks with crushed oyster shells and a certified organic feed mix from locally grown grains to supplement their foraging for optimum health. They produce the fruit for Blackduck Cidery for hard cider, perry, and raw apple cider vinegar and sell nursery stock. Fruit, eggs, and beverages are seasonally available at the Ithaca Farmers' Market at Steamboat Landing and the farm stand at Blackduck Cidery.
