Maple Landmark: everything made in Middlebury, Vermont
Maple Landmark says all of its products are made in Middlebury, Vermont, from native northeastern lumber, mostly from local mills. Separately, the maker says about 1% of its spending goes to foreign-sourced items; that figure doesn't say how much of its spending is local.[6][7][8][9]
Facts on this page come from the maker's own site or the FTC, each with a numbered source; sections marked “Our reading” are our interpretation. We haven't audited the maker or seen its supplier records, and nothing here is a finding that any product meets the FTC's standard. See what “Made in USA” means.

What this means when you buy
For babies, the maker's own advice is specific: its Schoolhouse Naturals line is designed for children under 3 who still mouth objects, and it says not to give toys labeled for older children to younger ones.
The maker says its NameTrains and track items are generally compatible with other wooden train systems. If fit with a particular existing track matters, confirm it with the maker before buying.
