Website Spotlight: Ramblers Way Farm

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband and I both grew up in small, sleepy towns. Recently some of the towns in his area were bypassed when they re-did the highway that used to go through them. Some of the small towns in my area have been bypassed too, or have just had people leave when jobs left.

I remember reading a MN Historical Society article that showed what a lot of small towns had years and years ago. There used to be towns of only a few hundred people that would have a theater, a music group, a saloon, and more. You don't see theaters and arts groups in the small towns anymore, unless their cooperatives with a variety of other area towns. Our town is big enough to have its own community band, but where I grew up, the local community band drew from ten or twelve towns!

I enjoy living in the cities, but I think we lose something when we lose our small towns. More importantly, I think we lose something when we lose the mom & pop shops in favor of generic big box stores. Ramblers Way Farm is committed to a Made in America philosophy. They grow and produce their woolen apparel using 100% domestic resources, and have brought production facilities into dying small towns to help revitalize the communities.

The Ramblers Way Corporate Office is a building that was originally built in 1792 and in downtown Kennebunk, Maine. The building has been restored to its original condition, as well as modernized to meet today's environmental standards, achieving Gold LEED certification.

It's great to see that there's a company committed to trying to bring some life back into small towns again. Plus, they're redefining wool garments as well. I looked around on the website, and they have a lot of things that aren't the big, bulky sweaters I think of when I think wool. They even have wool underwear! The wool is washable and shrink-resistant, and chemical-free.
