What is Goose Down?
Larger clusters of down from the chest and bellies of European Geese. Like the ducks, these geese are only used for down production and are not used in the food industry. The down is hand harvested from these birds and it takes approximately 6 months for a goose to grown quality down. The geese live about 14 months and when they die parts of their body are used in the medical field. These birds also produce small 4.5 centimeter C-Quill Feathers that we use in our feather pillows.
