Goose Quill Pen

Right from the goose's wing!

Our heritage Toulouse, and Dewlap Toulouse geese, Johnny, Alice, and Emma, are the providers of our feathers. Each year, they naturally moult, 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 barnyard. 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 is more suitable for a right-handed writer.

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