Joey Jurgielewicz – Duck industry leader and champion of happy poultry

We’re kicking off Season 9 of Forktales with a deep dive into the world of duck.
Joey Jurgielewicz is Director of Client Service at Tasty Duck—one of the largest and most respected duck producers in North America. With a background in hospitality and a deep knowledge of the family business, Joey is helping lead the charge in bringing premium duck to chefs, retailers and consumers nationwide.
In this episode of Forktales, Joey talks heritage breeds, fat-to-meat ratios, and why duck belongs on more than just fine dining menus. He breaks down new product innovations, zero-waste sustainability efforts, and the company’s core belief that happy ducks make tastier ducks.
