A brief background on the hutterite advantage: as it relates to feathers and down, this means that from incubation to processing, all of the waterfowl are subject to the best possible conditions, allowing for strong and healthy birds. All geese and duck are range fed and raised, which means stress on the birds is minimal, resulting in strong down and feather yields. Furthermore, the unique canadian conditions are a natural influence for further growth from the birds. Northwestern canada is subject to some of the harshest and variable conditions in the world as summer days can be exceptionally warm with night temperatures often dropping near or below freezing. Although not especially hospitable for people, this climate is ideal to increase the amount of down and feather that is required for waterfowl to maintain its core temperature and stay warm. In addition, the mature age of the birds (5 - 6 months) at the time of processing is the final key to maximizing relative down content and quality.
