It’s been a year of hard lessons and revival for Crescent Duck Farm, the family-owned business that suffered a devastating setback following a bird flu outbreak. After the government-ordered culling of nearly his entire flock of 99,000 birds, the chief executive had some real soul searching to do. He’d kept a reserve of several thousand eggs that had been sanitized and cleared for hatching, but the question was: could he really rebuild his business practically from scratch? Thus far he’s proving he can, with a lot of help from the community, lawmakers, fellow businesses and customers. In recent months, Corwin, who operates the farm with his sons and other family members, saw his flock grow to about 12,500. Read more on their rebuild at the link in bio. (Photos: Thomas A.
