has always manufactured products right here in the United States. It all started in 1947 in an old barn in Georgia, supporting a little cooperative community. Not long after, the co-op joined a larger group in New York and brought the business with them. Today, the “community” in Community Playthings is a group of families who earn their living crafting toys and furniture for children. We manufacture primarily in New York and Pennsylvania, with wood responsibly harvested from the Northeastern U.S.

Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteI was glad to read about Community Playthings from your blog and I had not thought of it as a resource until I read about it here. I am happy to report that my employer uses community playthings products for our centers. I believe that it is a good deed if we are supporting families that make toys for children. Thanks for sharing!
