Hart and I went to Harris Teeter yesterday and I began my search for food grown in the USA. The strawberries were advertised as grown in CA but they were from Mexico. Most of the frozen seafood was from a foreign country as well. There ended my search for we ran out of time. I will do better next time.
I have been researching USA companies and surprise! there are many.
Here are a few I was familiar with:
Watkins Spices and Extracts
James Avery Jewelry
Lenox
Little Tike Toys
Fuller Brush (remember the guy who used to come door to door with his briefcase--I do)
Crayola Crayons
Kitchenaid mixers
Stetson
Woolrich blankets
Nalgene bottles
Ivory soap
Benjamin Moore Paint
A couple of good websites to do more in depth searching are:

There are a lot more you can google as well. One more thing, here is an interesting article about manufacturing in the USA. Why We Still Make It in the USA .
Let me know what you think and any products that you find that are USA made.
