Consumables – Foods, Drinks

The website owner of this site recently contacted me…
Made in the USA – It Matters

This blog has hundreds of links to sites that have products manufactured in the USA. When possible I will include products from this blog into the data base at MadeByYankees.NET

This blog also has the most links to consumable items that I have seen in a single location. Look for Food, Chocolate, Cheese, Wine, Coffee, Tea etc.

He also has a large listing of links for electronics, cookware, and many other links.

Light Bulbs

The only long life incadescent bulb mfg left in the USA is
Aero Lights

You might buy them from Sierra Valley Trading

It doesn’t appear as if there are CFLs mfg in the USA any more.

Texas Flourescents is another source but may be geared more toward industrial & commercial.

Electric Fillet Knife

Dennis asked for a search on Electric Fillet Knives made in the USA.

I did a search tonight and so far have come up empty handed. I checked Berkley, American Angler, and Kershaw brands. None of these brands are made in USA.

Lag Bolts

Possibilities for finding lag bolts. Keep in mind, these companies probably do not serve the general public.

Drywall Screws, Nails

Yankee — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:10:57 +0000

Fasteners have to be the most challenging of all consumer products to research. It is absolutely amazing the number of types of fasteners, sizes, shapes, applications, and quality.

There are futher frustrations to researching these items. We’ve discovered that at least some fasteners are made in the USA. Which is a good thing. However, more common than not is that the products are made for large purchasers and are not available to the consumer for general home use. Having said that, the following information is an accumulation of several research projects that we have done for various types of fasteners.

LED Light Bulbs

Yankee — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:03:33 +0000

I have been completely unsuccessful at finding LED light bulbs made in the USA. If anyone has any information on a manufacturer in the USA. Please help us.
Thank you!

This is the response I received when searching for string LED lights. It comes from www.Inirgee.com. Innovative Energy Solutions.

“You are facing a true dilemma. I cannot find light strings made in the USA. The problem lies with the fact that the vast majority of consumers want “Wal-Mart” prices and that requires finding foreign manufactories which don’t have to pay American Union wages. Even items which are handcrafted in USA are usually made of components which come from China, India, Pakistan or other foreign land with cheap labor (the vast majority of items in the Hobby Lobby stores is foreign-made for example). So, if you consider our lighted wreaths, or metal-frame displays, the structures may be US made, but the lights will be from China. It is an impossible situation which I find to be frustrating on a number of levels. “

Wheelbarrows – Made in USA

Yankee — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:56:37 +0000

The Wheelbarrow reseach has been a little challenging. Though we can find several that claim to be made in USA. Typically the wheel is not made in the USA.

So several wheel barrows will fall within the legal guidelines of Made in USA. However, for those looking for 100% made in USA, the search is still on.
