Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily J.K. ADAMS: MADE IN THE U.S.A. By Malcolm Cooper Jr. Since J.K. Adams' founding over 65 years ago, we have lived by our own definition of sustainability. This has meant building beautiful and finely crafted wood products that stand the test of time and use. It has meant supporting our community by employing generations of local workers in our office, our factory and out in the forest. It has meant making sure that we operate in an environmentally responsible manner. Most important, it has meant making every cutting board, bowl, server, wine rack and knife block that bears the J.K. Adams logo in the U.S.A. out of responsibly-grown and harvested native lumber. My father, Malcolm Cooper Sr., founded the company on this principle of sustainability, though he would likely not have used this word to describe what seemed like plain common sense to him. Of course, J.K. Adams would employ local woodworkers to build the products in Vermont. Of course, the company would use responsibly grown and harvested wood. Relying on his practical, New England intuition, he built the woodshop in a lush corner of southwestern Vermont, a region known for its abundant Maple, Ash and Cherry trees. We remain headquartered in the same building nearly 70 years later and have kept all manufacturing stateside. Call it classic Yankee will, but we never left and don't intend to.

This is what good business sense meant to him, and it is what good business sense means to us today.
