We settled in the hilltowns of the Eastern Berkshires in 1981 and began to work the land on our 26 acre farm. We grow Christmas trees, produce maple syrup and, make traditional brooms. Our two home-schooled children enjoy helping out on the farm... especially taste-testing the maple syrup!! All our products are 100% natural and are available year-round.

Broommaking started for us in 1982 when we purchased our first handcrafted broom. The quality of that broom inspired us to begin planting broom corn and handcrafting our own brooms.

Our first brooms were made by using books as a guide and then we went on to an apprenticeship at Hancock Shaker Village. Over the years we have learned to make numerous styles of brooms from a variety of experienced broom makers throughout the U.S. We have received many compliments on how well-crafted our brooms are.
