“Great farmers make great food” and with that mantra, the King Cole ‘flock’ has farmed for 7 decades to serve great duck to kitchens across Canada and beyond.

Patti Thompson and her three sisters are 3rd generation duck farmers operating Canada’s largest farm to fork duck business. Now in its 73rd year, King Cole Ducks Ltd. boasts 2000 years collective experience in farming this specialty bird from egg to finished plate.

King Cole’s sustainability and animal welfare programs lead the industry in North America.
With a commitment to zero product waste, they use ‘everything but the quack’ from duck tongues to duck feathers and even compost manure for garden centres.

Patti is on the board of the Canadian Commercial Waterfowl Producers Association, is active with York Farm Fresh, is a contributor to York Region Economic and Agri Development and is an avid volunteer in the community.

Always grateful for the support of the Canadian Culinary Federation chefs across the country, the King Cole team sends a thank you for your BOH expertise that inspires our family and staff to bring the best of Canada to your tables.
