Brinly-Hardy Co.
Jeffersonville, Indiana
About Brinly-Hardy Co.
Lawn and garden equipment manufacturer Brinly can trace its roots back to the early 19th century, when an enterprising Kentuckian turned out a saw blade into a one-piece steel plow, the design for which quickly became a hit with farmers across the South. One hundred and eighty years later, the company that started with one ingenious plow is Brinly – and is now located just across the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Brinly does all of its R&D and makes the majority of its products there. Its product line features lawn aerators, spreaders, cultivators and dump carts. And yes, Brinly is still selling plows.

Challenge Program Furniture
Wilmington, Deleware
About Challenge Program Furniture
Challenge Program Furniture was first featured in the Made in America Holiday Gift Guide in 2020, but it’s such a cool company we decided to run it back. CP Furniture’s sales support the eponymous Challenge Program, a Wilmington nonprofit founded in 1995 that teaches construction and life skills to at-risk youth. Some of the program’s graduates stay on to work in the furniture shop as apprentices, which for them means jobs and advanced training in woodworking and furniture making. The stuff they crank out is really stylish, too; tables, chairs, shelving, custom orders, and a really nice sit-stand desk.
