Broadfork 1 of 3

Meadow Creature's Broadforks are sturdy, welded, all-steel tools for working the ground. Ideal for deep-aerating your beds, our broadforks are strong enough to break new soil and turn existing beds.

Why Use A Broadfork?

The broadfork allows you to till and aerate your growing beds by hand, using a natural motion that's easy on your body. It provides an alternative to noise, pollution, fossil fuel use and ground compaction.

The broadfork looks similar to a pitchfork, but is larger, stronger and heavier, with longer tines. To use, you stand on the cross bar, push the handles front-and-back, using your body weight to work the tines into the ground. Stepping off the broadfork, pull back on the handles just a bit to loosen and aerate the soil around the tines, or all the way to the ground to completely turn over the soil.

Compared to a shovel or pitchfork, using the broadfork gives you a balanced workout of the upper body, without so much lifting, twisting and straining.

Meadow Creature's broadfork is unique in its single-piece welded construction.  There are no wood handles to break, no bolted connections to come loose.

Which broadfork is for me?

"A broadfork is a wonderful tool that loosens the soil with minimal turning and mixing of soil strata. The Vashon Broadfork works great. It allows me to quickly prepare garden and farm beds by hand, even large areas, without straining my lower back."
