FAQs

Brooms and Brushes

Use the FAQ section to answer your customers' most frequent questions.

Wow! What are these made of?

Our brooms are made from broomcorn — a natural, sustainable agricultural fiber. The handles are sourced from local Kentucky hardwoods.
Do you grow it yourself?

We're working on it! We've partnered with Lazy Eight Stock Farm in Madison County, Kentucky to grow a portion of our broomcorn locally as part of a multi-year effort to source all our broomcorn from our region.
What about the chord?

We use waxed cotton or hemp cord to bind our brooms — natural, durable materials that age beautifully.

Wooden Wares

Use the FAQ section to answer your customers' most frequent questions.

How do I clean and maintain my board?

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. Dry immediately and never soak or put in the dishwasher. Re-oil regularly to keep it conditioned.
How do I apply oil and board butter?

Apply a generous coat of food-safe mineral oil or our board butter, let it absorb for 15-30 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Repeat monthly or as the wood looks dry.
Where do you get such beautiful lumber?

We work closely with our local sawmill to source urban lumber — trees that have been removed from local properties and would otherwise be wasted.
But it's so beautiful. I'm scared to even use it!

Use it! These pieces are made to be lived with. The marks of daily life only add to their character over time.
