   PyArrow doesn't support columns with mixed string and primitive dtypes and 
so it tries to convert to a double

   What you could do is to convert pandas `df` to a `pyarrow.Table` adding a 
`Schema` specifying the object column to be a string dtype and then 
[pyarrow.feather.write_feather](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.feather.write_feather.html#pyarrow.feather.write_feather)
 should work fine.
