Lancaster Cast Iron

A place at the table.
For generations.

Lancaster Cast Iron brings a family-and-friends approach to making cookware in Pennsylvania. The team’s purpose reaches beyond the stove: help people slow down, cook with confidence, and spend more time around the table together.

Their cast iron is made for a long working life. A smooth cooking surface, hand-applied seasoning, and the promise of years of meals turn an everyday pan into something a household can grow with.

Millstream Home

The past has
a place at home.

Jake and Janelle founded Millstream Home with their Amish heritage in mind. They went looking along Lancaster County’s back roads for the craftspeople who could carry familiar ways of making into a new generation of homes.

Their work brings together weavers, broom makers, potters, and other artisans. Each object offers a small connection: to a family, to a place, and to a skill someone has chosen to keep practicing.

Brant & Cochran

A search for one axe.
A reason to start again.

In 2015, Steve Ferguson wanted a good American-made axe for his godson, who was heading to forestry school. That search brought Steve, his brother Mark, and Barry Worthing to a larger idea: help revive axe making in Maine.

Their South Portland shop hand-forges axes rooted in the state’s traditional patterns. Making is only part of the work; they also teach care and use, keeping the knowledge close to the tool.
