The Care of Steel: Ancient Wisdom for Keeping Homestead Tools Alive

Every great harvest begins with a well-cared-for tool.

This week, we’re stepping into the workshop to explore the forgotten art of tool maintenance.

🪓 Learn how to: • Prevent rust with the classic sand-and-oil bucket • Sharpen hoes, shovels, axes, pruners, and knives • Care for wooden handles • Store tools for generations of use • Embrace the old philosophy of repairing instead of replacing

Because stewardship doesn’t stop in the garden—it extends to every tool that helps us tend the land.

🎧 Join us as we rediscover the wisdom of caring for the things that care for us.
