I am a one-man operation selling scythes via this website, via events and workshops in the lower North Island sometimes venturing further afield.
It all started 2009 when Ross Doyle's brushcutter broke down and he sought a more simple and cleaner alternative. He started ScythesNZ .
At that time I was developing a permaculture property and I soon caught the bug as well.
Since then I have developed a passion for the Austrian scythe and use it for every mowing job on my property. The Scythe is also a key tool in my job as a sustainable/green gardener.
We run workshops in Summer when and where we can. Hopefully we will get to your neck of the woods soon if we haven't already. In the meantime we can give advice and tuition on any part of the mowing or scythe maintenance operation via email or over the phone.
Happy mowing.
John Valentine
