Pioneers and colonials, for the most part, had to make their own brooms for the household. . .From whisks to pot scrubbers to floor brooms, the task was left up to each family to craft their own. . .Some made many brooms at one time for a year long supply. . .Others made them as needed. . .They were fairly easy to craft, with only a few items necessary for success.
Fall Harvest will be coming up soon. . . We often gather together our own broom making supplies and spend a day or two demonstrating the technique and teaching others the craft. . .Alas, this year we won't be making brooms for the public, due to the Virus and cancellations. . .But we hope to one day demonstrate our broom making technique here in Ste. Genevieve and maybe teach a few classes on it. . .
Until then, why don't you click over to our farm page and read the article I wrote for the 2018 Fall Issue of COUNTRY RUSTIC MAGAZINE? . .I think you will enjoy it. . .And hopefully next year, we'll be back on schedule. . .
