Granville Island Broom Co. is owned by Mary Schwieger and her sister Sarah, where they handmake brooms in Vancouver, BC. The backstory of the store is the sisters' connection to the tradition of making brooms that they inherited from their parents, who had learned from friends connected to the Shakers, also known as the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing. The Shakers are known for inventing flat brooms made with sorghum, which are strong fibre bristles. The article and video tell the sisters' story as well as traditions and the significance of the broom in different cultures, groups of people and periods of time of history.
