Peterboro Basket Company
We love American companies that have been around for a while. Peterboro Basket Company certainly checks that box. Founded in 1854 Peterboro Basket Company has been manufacturing American Made baskets for almost 170 years! We like the Large Magazine & Fireside Storage Basket ourselves. Would love to have that sitting next to the fireplace with a few logs in it. We also think the Hardwood Drum Cooler is pretty nifty. Not only will you keep your beverages cool but you’ll have a great conversation piece as well! Continue reading
Mountain Ridge Gear
Mountain Ridge Gear describes its backstory as: … a classic case of hobby-turned-small business born inside a fabric store. That’s our favorite type of company! After 24 years in the military, founder Eric Lynn had gained an affinity for rugged and functional gear. He aslso realized that most of the gear made for hunting or tack just didn’t meet the standards he thought it should. Seams not as resiliant as they should be, materials that were just not as durable as they needed to be. Continue reading

Randolph
Randolph has one of the best stories of chasing an American Dream that we have come across to date. The result is handcrafted, American Made sunglasses for men and women. Originating in Poland, master machinists, Jan Waszkiewicz and Stanley Zaleski immigrated to the United States with their families and willed their way to create iconic, high-quality sunglasses, handmade in the USA. Doesn’t get more true to the core of the American Dream than that! Continue reading

Eklind
We were recently on a quest to find a high quality (and American Made!) folding hex key set. Lucky for us, we stumbled upon Eklind and their various folding kits.

L-Key sets added in 1991 and Ball-Hex tools were added to their lineup in 1995. Continue reading
