Making wholesome American-made baking products since 1790.There’s nothing like the smell of delicious treats baking in the oven. And with the holidays just around the corner, a lot of us have baking on our minds. So what’s the one key ingredient to all that baking? Flour.While there are many types of flour on the market, all flours are not created equal. Many of the most popular flours found on

A Variety of Safe, Convenient Water Bottles -- Made in the USA with No BPA!So you've bought a reusable water bottle to keep plastic out of the landfills and help save the environment ... good for you!

I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike ...With more people trying to leave less of a carbon footprint, the rising price of gas, our desire to not be dependent on foreign oil, and the fact biking is a great sport and offers terrific health benefits, bikes are more popular than ever. That's why I decided to feature a US bicycle company. During my research I found a few companies that

Thanks to American-made SAS shoes, my friend Katy is enjoying a 'comfortable' vacation in Montreal!In the 1970s, shoe manufacturers were leaving the United States in droves and many of those who stayed were cutting corners to compete with cheaper imports.For passionate shoemakers Terry Armstrong and Lew Hayden this fact was unacceptable. They refused to compromise on quality, so in 1976 they quit

Celebrate the 4th of July by buying American!As we get ready to celebrate U.S. Independence Day on July 4, I thought it would be an appropriate time to remind everyone how important it is to buy American-made flags.When you wave the American flag this year make sure that flag is Made in the U.S.A. Though buying any products not made here when you have a choice is never good, buying a flag made in

Throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here in the U.S.A.The secret to finding American-made products is to diligently look at labels and deliberately shop for them.Take an everyday item like toothpaste, for example. Colgate is now made in Mexico. Crest says their toothpaste is “mostly made” in Greensboro, North Carolina, which probably means some

After decades of making chocolate in the U.S.A., Hershey's is going south of the border to save (What else?) money.Normally I don’t like to talk about products that AREN’T made in the U.S. but instead prefer to promote those that are. However some recent disturbing news has changed my mind. It seems that Hershey’s, once a staple of American industry, has already closed several plants in the U.S.

Quality sponges for car, boat and home made in Benton Harbor, Michigan!It’s funny how we get in the habit of buying the same things without even thinking.

My friend Sarah Glinka brought up a good point recently: Where do you buy American-made vitamins?Many Americans have no clue where the nutritional supplements they put into their bodies and those of their children are manufactured. And most people would be shocked to find out that most of these products are made in unregulated facilities in Asia.While most supplements are "distributed" by

Don't count out Ford just yet. The new Fusion Hybrid is getting rave reviews and high marks against the Toyota Prius.Who says Americans can't build fuel-efficient cars that look good and perform well? Ford calls its 2010 Fusion Hybrid the "most fuel-efficient mid-sized sedan in America." Considering this vehicle can get up to 41 mpg, that's a stellar accomplishment for an American-made car.Just

There are reasons to love old things ...Some of my most precious possessions are nearly as old or older than me. Considering I am almost 50, I guess your could call them antiques or, at least, vintage.Take my stapler, for example, made in the 1950s by Speed Products of Long Island, NY. It is heavy and clunky looking, but it is made of sturdy metal, still works, rarely jams and looks great on my

While buying American-Made products is helpful to our economy, we also need to choose products that are environmentally safe. I will not preview companies that produce harmful products or those that are known polluters. And my goal is to give credit to those who have green initiatives and high environmental standards.Stay tuned to learn about more great American companies.

If you're an American, there are many reasons to buy products made in your own country.If this country is going to get back to the self-sufficient land we all knew long ago, then Americans need to step up and support American industry.
