Homestead Hand Broom | Natural Broomcorn | Handcrafted in Arkansas

The Homestead Broom Maker at Parker Homestead builds these whisk brooms by hand in Arkansas using heritage techniques and natural broomcorn. They're built for hearth sweeping, workshop cleanup, kitchen dust, camping chores, and the kind of everyday tasks that don't warrant dragging out a full-size broom. The broomcorn stays stiff enough to handle what you ask of it, and the whole thing is light enough to hang on a nail or toss in a camp kit without thinking twice.

Broomcorn is a real plant and not, as you might reasonably assume, something named by a committee trying to make sweeping sound pastoral. These brooms handle crumbs, ash, wood shavings, and the general light debris of a life lived near floors. After six months of use you'll either still have it or you won't remember where you put it, which is the lifespan of most hand tools that aren't wrenches.
