The company's website describes a vertically integrated duck business raising and processing White Pekin ducks, with a history it traces to 1858, when Warren J Hallock began raising Long Island White Pekin ducks in Speonk, New York. The site states that the family moved to Indiana in 1960 and added the USDA processing plant in Middlebury in 1978. The website says Culver Duck is the only duck farm in North America to have earned American Humane Certified status, and states that no antibiotics are injected into eggs or administered to ducklings, feed, or water.

For buyers, the website runs an online store selling whole ducks, duck cuts, and fully cooked items shipped from the company. Custom or private-farm slaughter service is not described anywhere in the sources, and the federal record reports no custom-exempt activity. Retail counter hours, booking practices, and other operational details beyond the federal record and the website store are not on file.

The website operates an online shop with listed prices, including whole ducks at $22.00 for a 4.5 to 6.5 pound bird, ground duck at $10.00 per pound, raw duck breast at $11.00 for 7 ounces, duck fat at $9.00 for 16 ounces, and stuffed ducks at $29.00 for 4 pounds. Product categories listed are Whole and Half Ducks, Raw Duck, Fully Cooked, Duck Cuts, and Sticks. A Halal Duck item is listed in the shop. The site describes duck as a lean option for home cooks and provides cooking tips and recipes. Shipping terms, delivery areas, and any on-site retail counter are not stated in the sources.
