Responsible Wood Toys, Made in USA
by Kyla @ 9:08 am 3 comments »
Responsible toy company, Maple Landmark Woodcraft, keeps it local whenever possible. Using local Vermont wood, local business, and even a local bank and insurance company, Maple Landmark Wood devotes only 1% of its budget to foreign-source items. Their high quality wood, mostly maple, pine, and cherry, abides by Vermont’s Land Use Program, which requires sustainable harvest. Maple Landmark Woodcraft donates sawdust and scraps to local farmers and residents to use for cattle bedding and kindling, uses mostly recycled packaging, and avoids over-packaging to reduce waste.
For toys that meet even tougher standards, try out their natural line, safely made with finishes such as beeswax/tung oil or nothing at all. This Natural Classic Fire Truck is $45.

Wonderful website. Our son actually received a rattle from these guys for Christmas. Looking at their website, I already have a small shopping list prepared for my nephews upcoming birthday and I have a few items we have been looking for, such as a grow stick to record our sons growth!
Thanks!
