The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Kentucky Cutting Boards The idea for our unique American Made products began in a casual discussion over a glass of wine in our backyard. Bill owns a flooring manufacturing company called Custom Hardwood Supply. Many customers complimented his flooring inlays and medallions created from beautiful hardwoods. We decided it would be cool to create decorative yet functional products that could be enjoyed by a greater number of people. We ran through a list of items that we could manufacture with the tools we already had and in that list, our cutting board business was born! The product line has since grown to include bread and cheese boards as well as lazy susans. We enjoy choosing simple yet iconic designs that we think are well suited to inlays. Then there is the process of figuring out how best to incorporate the most striking features of several wood species to translate the designs into the boards in a way that looks both natural and unique. Our Horse themed boards are top choices (naturally, as Louisville is the home of the Kentucky Derby!) with the Fleur de Lis following close behind ? another Louisville trademark. Another great design includes the Pineapple which has become a popular gift for Realtors to give as a housewarming gift to new home buyers. One of our newest boards is our hickory bread board with a gorgeous richly hued wine bottle inlay which is a great option for Bridal and Wedding Gifts. Our prices range from $49.50 on up. Read some of the nice things our customers have had to say about our products! Kentucky Cutting Boards was in the news last fall. Foxnews.com featured our Celtic Trinity Round Cutting Board as one of EIGHT great American Made Products! We are always looking for interesting design ideas. If you are interested in a custom design, email me and I'll quote you a price. Enjoy, Jennifer Adams President Kentucky Cutting Boards 502-439-8851 |
