We present to you Johannes Weinbacher (joschweinbacher@gmx.at), a high-quality Austrian reenactor from the Mannschaft der Ormrinn Brands group, who has been dedicated to representing early medieval crafts for a long time. One of the projects he perfected is a reconstruction of the life of a Scandinavian farmer. Johannes points out that early medieval reenactment usually focuses on the elite and the fight, but agricultural activities remain largely neglected. In the past, it was an integral and common part of everyday life. Johannes has gone so far in his endeavors that he has established his own historic garden and a field where he grows native crops and harvests them with faithful reconstructions of period tools.
Below is a twenty-page brochure that provides a crash course in historical farming and a presentation of the necessary tools. The work is in English and is dedicated to reenactors and others interested in practical everyday life in history. We hope that you will like the brochure and that it will inspire you.
