Product Details
|
Research has proven that when a child is encouraged to share in the responsibilities of cleaning, self-esteem and self-motivation are developed. A fourth generation broom maker crafted these brooms from natural materials grown and processed in the USA. The broomcorn is grown on a Tennessee farm and the hickory wood handles come from sustainable local forests. Sized perfectly for a child. Available in natural or rainbow.
The fan of the whisk and broom is made from broomcorn. Broomcorn looks just like a normal corn plant except it does not grow ears of corn. Instead it has a long piece of coarse-like straw that grows out of the top of the plant. When asked how long it takes to make each broom the answer is simple: it takes 5 months and 45 minutes to make every broom; 5 months to grow and dry the broomcorn, and 45 minutes to put it together. How long does it last? Generations!

(FP) It is very important to Camden Rose to not just have their products made in the USA but to also use USA materials whenever possible. Most of the wood used in their products is sustainably harvested in Michigan. One of the major mills where their wood comes from is even powered by their scrap wood and extra power is used in the town.
