Uncle Goose
Education is one of the most important things in the world. What better way to get your young ones started on the path of learning than with some American Made educational toys? This is what you will find from Uncle Goose. When you open a new set of Uncle Goose blocks, you get a rush. You smell the wood. You get a flashback. You’re a child again. You might find yourself wondering: “How high can I stack these? Can I spell my name with all different color letters? What happens if I press modeling clay into the embossed sides?” Continue reading

Alaska Rug Company
This may be the best backstory for an American company that we have seen yet: the act of quitting smoking resulted in the creation of Alaska Rug Company. The company is based in Kodiak, AK and owned and run by Robert and Anita Shane. The Shane’s live on-site year round, they started Alaska Rug Company in the winter 2010 when they both decided to quit smoking. In lieu of strangling one another while quitting they came up with a way to keep their hands busy and started playing with rope, finding designs and knots and began making rugs which led to much more.

They are easy to use and highly functional. Continue reading
WV Great Barrel Company
The WV Great Barrel Company has one of the best stories we have seen. Born out of a desire to employ a community, this company, and the community it is in, were saved by tragedy. In 2016 a massive storm caused flooding that devasted the small town of White Sulphur Springs, WV. A few civic leaders came together and engaged the community to help rebuild their town. However, rebuilding the town was not enough to save it and the people who lived there. The community needed employment. The town needed to produce. Continue reading
