Helping You Improve Your Soil, One Broadfork at a Time
A little about us:
Having a garden and growing our own food is very important to us!
Larry Cooper - I have been a blacksmith for over 2 decades and in 2008 I started manufacturing and marketing a garden tillage tool, the broadfork. I have always appreciated good quality, efficient hand tools. I certainly didn't invent this fine tool, but I have worked on the design with the intention of making the best one available.
The name Gulland is Norwegian, and translated means 'Golden Land'. It is my wife's family surname, and I chose it as the name for our broadfork company. We started our little company in the area known as Vermont Valley, near the tiny town of Black Earth, in south central Wisconsin and recently moved to a small community near Pittsboro, North Carolina.
Some of my interests are mowing with a scythe, draft oxen, timber frame carpentry, canoeing and kayaking, hiking in beautiful places, writing and dobermans.
When I’m not doing all of the above, I can be found knitting, spinning, leatherworking, growing our food, cooking, paddling a kayak, hiking the woods and prairies and taking photos. Occasionally I stop to sleep!
If you haven’t already noticed, we like chickens.
