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.

When it was introduced at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Show in January of that year, it won Country Living Gardening Magazine's Best New Product award. Added to an already crowded product line of bird feeders, patio lanterns and other garden accessories, the rain gauge stood out immediately for its creative approach to a somewhat mundane activity: measuring rain. As it turned out, measuring rain was something a lot of people like to do. Sales skyrocketed, space and resources grew limited, nerves got frazzled. In 2008, a new company was formed to concentrate on the manufacture and sale of the rain gauge and the rain gauge only. Oh Crow LLC is proud to make the World's Coolest Rain Gauge? in the USA and continues to improve and add to the product line. Based in New Paltz, NY, Oh Crow LLC is owned by Moira Clune. Her former business partner, Tom Hoff, continues to create practical and amazingly useful products for the home and garden from his studio in Maplecrest, NY. |
