Groundswell Center and Wolftree Farm are excited to announce
Two Scything Workshops!

The scythe has been used as a human powered mowing technique for centuries. Austrian-style scythe blades are forged from a single piece of steel into a light and graceful tool. Two upcoming workshops will focus on scythe care and sharpening, as well as making your own scythe and learning to mow!
