Down is at the heart of everything we make at Feathered Friends, and where that down comes from is one of the most important aspects of our manufacturing. We source down that is never live-plucked, from geese that are raised under strict humane standards. All of our down is a by-product of the meat industry, from Eastern European geese that have never been force-fed or raised in cages. In 2015, we were one of the first companies to shift 100% of our down sourcing to be certified under the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). For more information about the RDS and our sourcing, check out the page all about our down.
