Metal Art from Haiti
Why Purchase Metal Art? Because you are supporting a living wage to Haitian Artisan’s. “We will never forget” applies to Haiti too. You may remember, January 12, 2010, Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, causing massive devastation. Death toll rose to 222,570 souls. To date, Haiti has not recovered from this disaster. In March of 2024 a surge in gang violence arose displacing nearly 580,000 Haitian people. Help us help them.
Artisan’s are paid upfront by U.S.A. retailers for their products through the Fair-Trade company Papillon Marketplace. This company’s sole purpose is to ensure Artisan’s are paid a living wage; to cover basic needs, including food, shelter, education, and health care for their families and is usually 3-4 times the wage of laborers or factory workers not covered by fair trade standards.
Each piece of metal art is hand-cut and hand-stamped out of 55-gallon steel drums. The artist traces the patten onto the flattened steel drum and then uses a small tool that looks like a railroad spike with various tips to cut and decorate the steel. They hold the pieces down with their feet and work sitting on the ground. When you buy a piece of metal art, know that it carries the heart, sweat, hopes, and dreams of a precious artisan in Haiti.

Iowa Smokehouse
As it states on the Iowa Smokehouse website "Tasting is Believing". We purchased Iowa Smokehouse jerky at Tractor Supply on one of those home project workdays and loved it. We went back and purchased more a couple of days later to ensure it was good because it is good, and not because we were hungry. Having the same conclusion, John took some jerky to work to share with his buddies and they loved it too. So, we ventured out and applied to become distributers thinking in the back of our minds how could we compete with the buying power of Tractor Supply? Imagine our excitement when we were approved! When we logged into the Iowa Smokehouse website to submit our first order, we became aware of Laura Beth's jams and salsas. Of course, we had to try the jams and salsas, which to-date have a following because they are "eat the whole jar (or package) in one sitting good". Take a minute to read the Iowa Smokehouse story... another family small business living the American dream. Stop by either of our Painted Tree locations and enjoy good eating.
