Maple Leaf Farms was established in 1958 by Donald Wentzel near Milford, Indiana. They began small with 280,000 ducks their first year (seems like a lot to me), but continued growing, and had 1 million ducks by 1964. Mr. Wentzel passed in 1968, but the business is carried on by his son-in-law, Terry Tucker. This family-owned company has a commitment to not only family, but also friends, personal fulfillment, community involvement, and high-quality products.
Maple Leaf farms now employs 750 people at operations in not only Indiana, but also Wisconsin, California, and Michigan. They are at the top of the North American duck market with their White Pekin Duck products, from raw to fully-cooked.
