Organic Gardening Tools

Made In The

Back in 1987, I bought a wheel hoe made in Europe to speed up the hard work of weeding 9 acres of organic vegetables. It worked amazingly well, but in about a year it was coming apart. I kept thinking about how to make a sturdier wheel hoe that stood up to farm use. By 1990, I made one and it worked well, so I made ten and started selling them. I’ve been at it ever since. -David Grau, owner of Valley Oak Tool Company
