🦆 About Our Ducks

Where Every Cookie Begins — Naturally

At Mimi’s Gluten Free Bakehouse, every cookie tells a story — and it begins right in our own backyard, with a happy little flock of Welsh Harlequin ducks.

These beautiful, gentle birds aren’t just part of our family — they’re the secret behind the rich flavor and velvety texture in every cookie we bake. Their farm-fresh duck eggs make our treats extra indulgent, and irresistibly delicious.

Meet the Flock

Our Welsh Harlequin ducks are known for their calm temperament, stunning plumage, and exceptional egg-laying ability.
They spend their days enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and room to roam — snacking on greens, splashing in the water, and living their best duck lives.

We collect their eggs daily, ensuring they’re always fresh, clean, and full of natural goodness.
Each egg is hand-selected before going into our batters — no factory farms, no shortcuts, and no compromise on quality.

We’re thrilled to introduce our hens! Please meet Cari, Lilly, Poppy, Banana, Delilah, Snowdrop & Mrs. VanQuack.

Why Duck Eggs?

Duck eggs are a baker’s secret weapon!
Compared to chicken eggs, they’re:

  • Richer and creamier, thanks to a higher yolk-to-white ratio.

  • Naturally higher in protein, which helps cookies rise beautifully and stay soft longer.

  • Perfect for gluten-free baking, adding moisture and structure to every bite.

The result? Cookies that are tender, flavorful, and truly unforgettable.

Ethically Raised, Lovingly Cared For

Our ducks are raised with kindness and respect. We believe happy ducks make better eggs — and better eggs make better cookies. We never use antibiotics or hormones, and we follow sustainable, humane practices in everything we do.

From Farm to Oven

When you bite into a Mimi’s Gluten Free Bakehouse cookie, you’re tasting more than a treat — you’re sharing in our story.
It’s a story of small-batch care, farm-fresh ingredients, and a love for good food that starts right here, with our ducks.

So the next time you enjoy one of our cookies, know that it all began with a happy quack and a freshly laid egg. 🦆💛
