HI! We’re Bradley and Casey

Thank you for taking the time to look at our work. Everything is made with intention and diligent attention to detail. We only want to spend our precious time, and Earth’s precious resources, making the highest quality products possible. 

Our ironwork designs have evolved from items we initially made for our own home that enhance our own experience of living sustainably. They are made to reduce our dependence on modern luxuries, to bring beauty to our spaces, and made to last.  Bradley forges them by hand and with antique 19th-and-20th-century belt-driven machinery, utilizing time-honored blacksmithing techniques.

Our herbs are grown with time-honored soil-loving methods, on a quarter acre of rich clay soil of the Eno River Valley in Durham, NC, in a cove of mature hardwood trees that hosts a diverse ecosystem. Casey seeds, weeds, waters, harvests, and dries everything by hand, with love and reverence. These efforts result in herbs of the highest potency.

Both the forge and the garden are a stone’s throw from our home on two little acres. We renovated the old 1940s 900sqft house here entirely by ourselves, with help from friends and family, gutting it down to the studs and joists, while working full-time jobs. We have of course outgrown our space and are still searching for our next home on twenty acres or more. There, we will be able to greatly expand our production and build an all-natural timber frame home for our growing family.
