PictureShepherds Crook Hoe
 There is nothing we enjoy more at F D Ryan, than to take on a customer request.  After months of trying to perfect the design of our single tine cultivator,  we ended up with a shape that looked a little like a shepherds crook. Hence we named it a Shepherds Crook Hoe.

When we displayed these for first time at the Warrandyte market, not only did we sell out, but we had a customer request a real shepherds crook. Animal husbandry is not our forte, but after an hour of tinkering on the forge we came up with a design that just might do the trick. Hopefully this tool will soon be gathering wayward sheep back to the flock
​
We are up to a challenge, so feel free to request your custom design. We may not be able to do everything, but we will certianly give it a go

Mid Summer in Warrandtye and the tomatoes are cropping profusely. Today's harvest is a collection of Digger's heirloom cherry tomatoes; Yellow Pear, Black cherry and Tigerella. There is nothing better than fresh tomatoes straight from the bush.
