Vergenoegd Wine Estate Duck Parade

The Duck run at Vergenoegd Wine Estate. Today, 3 September was the first Duck run this season! 

The Ducks are organic pest controllers for Vergenoegd Wines.
They barely make any sound, with only the females quacking.

The Ducks are Indian runner ducks and they are exceptional, they do not waddle they stand erect and they run! 

The Indian runner ducks also do not make a nest they lay their eggs on the run, :) Indian runner ducks at vergenoegd are more like kids than animals, but, saying that, they are hard working animals. 

The vineyards are being kept free from any slugs, snails or pests by around 800 ducks, depending on the time of the season.

Spending the day at Vergenoegd Wine Estate is a bonus in the way that they have a market on Saturday and you could spend a couple of hours at the Estate.

The Wine Estate is very kid friendly and there are a couple of activities that the kids can enjoy, there is even a mini train that runs often for the kids to experience e the while vineyard as well as the farm! 

I will definitely go to Vergenoegd Wine Estate again!
