About

ABOUT OUR FARM

We are a small family farm in Wirt County WV.  We began our farming journey in 2016, planting 375 shrub willows as a test crop.  The willows flourished and so has our business.  We now have about 13,000 bushes, which we harvest each year.  Much of our willow is sold to other weavers, and we keep a bit to weave our traditional willow baskets and teach classes.

​

In 2023 we decided to add another heritage craft to our business and began producing handcrafted brooms.  We sell our products online, at festivals in WV and surrounding states, and from our workshop.  We also hold classes in broom making and willow basket weaving.​
