Tarlac, Philippines — Imagine a future where tender, flavorful duck meat is sourced entirely from local farms—no imports needed. That future is now, thanks to EDL Farms and Feed Manufacturing Inc., a proudly Filipino company setting a new gold standard in premium-quality duck meat production.
With its innovative farm-to-table operation, EDL Farms has achieved what once seemed impossible—producing duck meat that meets the exacting standards of Michelin-starred chefs and premier dining establishments.
A journey of vision and grit
Every revolution starts with a spark. For Dr. Eulalio Lorenzo, it began with a dream to uplift Filipino farmers. From his humble beginnings as a construction worker, Lorenzo’s relentless drive led him to become a veterinarian and, later, a trailblazing entrepreneur.
In 2013, he saw an opportunity amid the global bird flu outbreak. Filipino farmers were unable to meet the quality standards demanded by high-end restaurants. Determined to change this, Lorenzo imported genetically superior Peking ducks from France’s Grimaud Frères and established EDL Farms—a name now synonymous with excellence.
