Welcome to Branch and Bristle Broom Company!
We are a small, women-owned Central Florida broomery, specializing in hand wound, fully functional brooms and besoms made in the traditional Appalachian and Shaker styles.
By reviving these time honored techniques, we hope to reintroduce thoughtfully handmade products, and a little bit of magic, into a world saturated in mass-production and microplastics.
All of our brooms are crafted from natural dried broomcorn, which is a type of grass related to sorghum. Prized for its durability, the variations of each individual broomcorn stalk provide a uniquely functional sweep to tackle any mess from large debris to the finest dust. Even better, the sweep of natural broomcorn improves over time, meaning that our eco-friendly brooms can be enjoyed for years to come.
In addition to being the hardworking household hero we all know and love, brooms are also long-celebrated energetic tools, sometimes known as “besoms”, which are used in numerous folk traditions and spiritual practices around the world. Often associated with cleansing, protection, and fertility rituals, brooms can bring a magical energy to even the most mundane tasks.
We offer brooms in all sizes for all needs. From dazzling ornaments, to hardworking handhelds, to full-size riders, we do it all. Frequently inspired by characters from human history, mythology and pop culture, many of our one-of-a-kind creations feature hand-dyed bristles in a variety of colors and are adorned with natural gemstones, handmade charms, and woven accents.
We also offer custom designs! We invite you to reach out with any questions.
