The Tumut Broom Factory has been making handmade millet brooms the same way since 1946 — out of a small factory in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains in NSW. They're the last original millet broom maker in Australia, and nothing much has changed. The millet is still grown, cut and sewn by hand, the same process passed down through generations of the same trade.

There's something quietly remarkable about an object this considered — made from a single natural material, by hand, in one place, for nearly eighty years. No shortcuts, no updates needed.

And it turns out, a millet broom just sweeps better. The natural bristles have a weight and flex that collect dust and debris rather than scattering it — and they hold their shape over years of use, outlasting synthetic alternatives by a long way. When they've finally done their job, they're fully compostable. The whole thing goes back to the earth.

The range covers most sweeping needs — heavier brooms for outdoor surfaces like pavers and concrete, lighter ones for timber floors and tiles indoors, and smaller handheld styles for tight corners, rugs and outdoor furniture.
