Right from the goose's wing!

Our heritage Toulouse, and Dewlap Toulouse geese Johnny, Alice, Emma, are the providers of our feathers. Each year they naturally molt, leaving a beautiful trail of feathers behind them. A single goose can produce up to 10 feathers a year.

Writing with a quill is a unique experience and definitely worth a try. You may find you never go back!

Jennifer collects them daily, in the barn yard. The feathers are then naturally  hardened for a year. After the year is up, they are soaked, and hand cut into a writing quill.

Feathers are from both wings - a goose's right wing feather is more suited to a left-handed writer and a left wing feather more suitable for a right-handed writer.

Writing with a quill pen is a unique experience. By it's very nature, it forces one to slow down, and think about the action and process of writing.

Quill and ink

The quill appears to be fine, but I have not cut them yet. I will cut them along with an eagle and crow feather after they dry out. The ink was rather watery but useable with my dip pen, but its thin nature required more frequent dipping. Perhaps the addition of some gum arabic might help it stick to the nib better. Otherwise, thank you for your service
