The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

They became completely aware of how utterly unaware they were of where their food came from and how it was produced. Rather than doing something as sensible as simply supporting a local farmers market they did something more radical. They promptly sold their suburban Atlanta home, quit their jobs as a teacher and corporate executive and devoted themselves to the land and the animals, a story they retold in the Amazon bestseller The Accidental Farmers. They had never milked a cow, petted a pig or held a chicken, but dove in head first anyway. They aimed to make a positive difference in the health of the soil, the life of the animals, the quality of nutrition for themselves and others, and to inspire both consumers and anyone who felt a calling to farm. In 2010 they began milking cows and learned the art of cheese making. Thus began Nature's Harmony Farmstead Cheese. Along the way they fell in love with the old-world style of traditional cheesemaking and visualized cows on pasture every day, farmers doubling as cheese makers and preserving the rich Jersey milk in the form of exquisite cheeses that reflected the farm's local terroir. Something that both the farmers and the community could take pride in. Today, this tradition continues at Nature's Harmony Farm. |
