Goose Down / Feather Market?

nina.kronberg — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:43:40 +0000

Hey fellow members! I'm about to be deep in the pillowy softness of pasture raised goose down, and I'm wondering - has anyone ever sold goose down or feathers? I know most commercial production is in Canada, but is there anyone in the PNW that is buying? Thank you! Nina

Bulk Buying Feed and Seed - Interest?

OPN — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 20:50:23 +0000

Hi all!

The OPN and FoFF team have been wondering if there would be OPN member interest in supporting with the potential coordination of bulk feed and/or seed purchases. We know some of you already have your own local systems and structures in place (feel free to share lessons learned!) but that some have been overwhelmed by the idea of trying to find and coordinate with other local producers to get a better price for those larger purchases at the beginning of (or throughout!) the season.

A few questions -

What suppliers do you recommend? Are there any you avoid and why? Anecdotal information is fine, that's what member forums are great for!

Are you able to meet your needs with local suppliers and pickup or are you paying freight charges for out-of-state orders?

How often are you making large/bulk orders for feed or seed throughout the season? What is a general range of the size of orders you're making?

We're just gathering information at this point but would love to hear your experiences and lessons learned! Let us know what you think...

Free feral cattle, if you're willing to go on a wild cow chase!

Please respond to Spencer with any specific questions regarding this opportunity to round up free feral cattle in an area that will become a private wildlife park. Thank you!

Hi,

We have a property between Gold Beach and Port Orford with a herd of feral cattle. We are looking for the right group with the proper equipment to coral and remove said cattle. We are giving them away for free as it has become an issue. If interested please email me back or call at (831) 620-5944.

Thank you,

OPN — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 18:32:23 +0000

Hey OPN. Wondering if anyone has leads to local sources/locally grown corn and soy free feed options for poultry? I found a source for local oats and peas grown in Coburg but wondering if there is anyone out there that might know of other affordable options...? Thanks!
