Tulegoose  Pillow  Company

In 1974, Dick and Trudy Eastman bought the Mallard Goose and Duck Processing Plant where local hunters take their waterfowl to be plucked and prepared for cooking and freezing. Realizing that the feathers could be utilized, we opened the Tulegoose Pillow Company in 1979. We are one of three pillow manufacturers on the West Coast and the only wild waterfowl manufacturer in the world, stuffing pillows & comforters with collected goose and duck down. All of our products are made in America.

Owner Trudy Eastman has written a game recipe cookbook titled, "From the Tules To The Table," now in its 6th printing. Some recipes are 100 years old. She has personally cooked every recipe in the book, except for the rattlesnake and bear, but she has eaten both!

Tulegoose Pillow Company has been featured in many magazines, newspapers, and TV shows including:

• The Herald and News feature, page C6 of the Living Well section, Sunday, April 4th, 2010, "A woman with pluck", describing Trudy Eastman's business life and being the first woman ever inducted into the California Waterfowlers Hall of Fame for her waterfowl conservation efforts.
