Since 2017, Sorghum & Leather has grown a small amount of heirloom sorghum broomcorn from seed, harvested and dried the plant, brushed out the seeds and saved them for the next season. The rest of the broomcorn is sourced from a farm in Mexico and imported to Texas by a family-owned company that has been doing so for over 65 years.
All leather is reclaimed from the fashion industry in order to reduce waste and stress on the environment.
For each product sold and for each workshop participant, a donation is made to plant a tree in the Western USA. Over 1000 trees have been planted in Colorado and over 100 trees in other states such as California and Oregon.
All broomcorn scraps are made into other styles such as pot-scrubbers, or composted. Reclaimed leather scraps are utilized in broom hanging tags.
Sorghum & Leather grows a small amount of their own broomcorn. This process uses pesticide free, companion planting, and organic methods. The compost from the production process is utilized on future crops.
As time allows, yes, Sorghum & Leather can create custom work. Send a message with requested details. All custom work must be prepaid. Customs are handmade with care in the order received and take 4 weeks before shipping, unless otherwise discussed.
Sorghum & Leather Handcrafted Brooms is currently not teaching workshops.
Sorry, Sorghum & Leather does not sell fiber or broom making supplies.
