Personal Testimonials for Justamere Tree Farm Products

    Thank you so much! My broom arrived today [which I think was phenomenally fast] and it’s much better than I expected it to be!! The broom is a real work of art and the smell is fabulous. It really is a treasure that I will surely enjoy for a very long time. Again my thanks!
J. MacDonald, CA.

  Just to let you know the brooms arrived just before the storm in good condition. They are great, I really appreciate all the steps and work that go into each one. Thanks for keeping a lost art alive.

    Saw your presentation on Martha Stewart’s TV show last week and got your web site address. I have enjoyed reading about your brooms and the maple syrup (and the folklore).

    I ran out of syrup before I saw you again, I had to buy it at the store and I wasn’t nearly as good.

Gathering Sassafras Saplings

                           J.P. Welch and Caleb Mitchell went out on a sassafras hunt in Connecticut this past Monday and Tuesday.

As you can see by the pictures, they gathered many saplings. They were put into the loft of our barn where they will dry out and be put to use as the handles for our trademark brooms. Sassafras is a desired wood for broom handles because it's a light wood and the bark stays intact.

The bark of the sassafras trunk is thick and red-brown. All parts of the sapling are very  fragrant. They are unusual in having three distinct leaf patterns on one plant. Till next time......
