Niwaki GR Pro Hand Pruner / Secateur

$96.00

This is it folks. We've tried them all - Felcos, Bahcos, Coronas, Fiskars, they all pale in comparison to Japanese hand pruners, and this here the workhorse of them all.  Hand forged in Japan out of two pieces of steel, these pruners are the ones you can pass down to your grandchildren, and the ones we're all using on the farm. 

These pruners are made with a very hard steel that has exceptional edge retention - they will stay sharp through tree pruning after tree pruning.  And they come razor sharp so the wear of cutting through tree branches doesn't reach your wrist or forearm or shoulder.

It's time to retire that $20 pair of pruners that is giving you all the aches, and settle down with a tool that will support you in all the right places instead.

For bigger cuts (more than 3/4 inch, and up to 2 inches), you're going to need a lopper and the ARS Lopper is the best we've tried.  Its got aluminum handles so its super light, which makes for very easy overhead cuts. Of course, the Japanese steel cutting blade is wickedly sharp, so it makes easy work of major pruning jobs.

Again, this is the tool we use on our own farm, and we prune nearly 80 trees every year with them.  Several of our customers with big orchards have bought multiple, so that the family can prune together.

ARS Japanese Folding Pruning Saw

$45.00

Cutting off a major branch? You don't need a chainsaw, you just need a super sharp handsaw, and this is the one.  The ARS folding saw extremely sharp and ergonomically designed.  You can easily cut through branches up to 6 inches, which is more than sufficient for most home orchards.

For added convenience, this saw folds in half so you can slip it in your pocket on your pruning adventures, and store it safely during the off season.

Bareboot Blackberries, Strawberries, and Blueberries plants are available for pre-order and will ship late January.

Ohta Knives FK series

$60.00

Handmade knives that are beyond beautiful and excellent for daily use as harvesting knives or as grafting knives. Delivered razor sharp.

Ohta's knives are simple, elegant, and supremely effective.  These FK series knives are based on a Japanese military knife design called Higonokami, and have been updated with quality hardwoods and modern steel.  These knives consist of just three pieces: the solid wood handle, the hinge, and the blade.

The knife is an old-school "friction folder," meaning you press down on the tab on the end of the blade with your thumb to prevent it from closing.  For these custom ordered knives, we've chosen an extremely dense, resilient and American native wood for the handles: Desert Ironwood.

Wonder Waterer Gold - Watering Wand for Seedlings & Vegetables

$47.00

The watering tool you didn't know you needed.  The Wonder Waterer delivers water in a mesmerizingly soft gentle rain, unlike any other watering wand you've ever seen.  You'll want to swap your shower head with this baby.

We tried several other watering wands and nozzles for watering seedlings before we found the Wonder Waterer.  The spray it produces is super fine and comes out very soft.  Even at full pressure, the gentle spray won't damage young seedlings, and soaks soil in small pots or plug trays really well.  A must have for anyone starting seeds at home or the small farmer. Comes with a BRASS shut-off valve that's super easy to turn on and off with just your thumb and lasts for years and years.
