2-Day Intensive & 1-Day Follow-Up Scything Workshop

Hands-On Scythe Soirée. Come meet Vermont “scythe sisters” and competitive hand-mowers and teachers, Michaela Stickney and Danielle Rougeau at Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center. Sharpen your skills and knowledge about scythe handling, blades, whetstones, and grass by joining this short scythe school snapshot. Esteemed scythe ambassador Don Elder from New Hampshire will join to further immerse you in the meditative realm of hand-mowing. 

Connect with this ancient knowledge that will strengthen your core muscles outdoors and deepen your roots with the earth. It’s addictive! Swing-snath, steel-sing, stone-hone, hammer-peen, and sip some switchel.
