A few years ago, I searched for a hummingbird feeder, which was bee proof, and made in the USA. I shopped in all of the local stores, then went online. I had a tough time finding one American made. A couple of months later, I decided to start Barn in the Sticks. Barn in the Sticks was created in the summer of 2005, to provide a store that soley sells birdhouses and bird feeders which are quality build in the USA.

With years of operation management and supply chain managment, I though it would be easy to find birdhouses and bird feeders made in the USA. I was wrong. The first year, I only had one vendor, which had quality American made products. Over the last five years, I've found a great selection of companies which sell quality American made bird feeders and birdhouses, like Droll Yankess, Aspects, Looker Products, Birds Choice, Heartwood, and more.

Chad Mathys, the company owner has been an avid nature lover for his entire life, and continues to do so, you can follow him on Facebook, for his latest pictures and custom made birdhouses and bird feeders. Along with the outdoors, Chad loves woodworking, which made a great combination for starting Barn in the Sticks. Chad is also a member of Pheasant's Forever and the Green-Rock County Audubon Society, where he is a director on the board.

Barn in the Sticks is a small family owned and operated business located in beautiful Southern Wisconsin. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best shopping experience and the best birdhouses and bird feeders available.

Barn in the Sticks is owned by the Mathys' Pen Company, LLC.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
