What is Hubbardton Forge?

Hubbardton Forge is a modern lighting manufacturer after our own hearts here at DutchCrafters. While this company is not Amish owned, their stylish lighting fixtures are the perfect complement to our heirloom Amish furniture.

This company was concocted in a barn in the mid-70s. Today, Hubbardton Forge stands as one of the oldest commercial forges in the United States. Based in Castleton, VT. They employs 230 hardworking Vermonters. Among the 230 employees, Hubbardton Forge hosts their own team of engineers and designers. Unique and modern designs are a part of what makes this American-made brand so appealing. There is no other way to illuminate your handcrafted furniture than with hand-forged lighting.

Just like DutchCrafters Amish woodworkers, Hubbardton Forge’s employs hometown heroes to design, manufacture, and ship all their handcrafted lighting products. With a dedication to keep the whole process in the USA, this great American company takes pride in providing handmade quality products. 

How is Hubbardton Forge Environmentally Friendly? 

The environment is at the forefront of their operation. They go above and beyond to conserve energy, eliminate wasteful processes, and keep their impact on the environment as minimal as possible.

To minimize damage caused by global shipping operations, all materials are locally sourced. In addition to the eco-friendly benefits of working with local vendors, it also expands their support of the community beyond their own employees.

They are innovators in environmentalism. From their powder coating and aqueous metal cleaning techniques, to being among the first to run a phosphate-free bioremediation system. They recycle and conserve water and use it tow ash metals for up to 12 months.

This commitment even extends to the way we live. With a dedication to the beauty of the night sky, Dark Sky Friendly Outdoor Lighting options will only beam light facing down. Down facing beams minimize light pollution and allows us to gaze at the stars more clearly, just as our ancestors would have. This design philosophy comes from a love of nature and commitment to providing the best in outdoor lighting fixtures.

These eco-friendly practices come from a dedication to preserve the natural environment from which the highest quality materials are sourced  for their lighting fixture . With this commitment to eco-excellence, Hubbardton Forge is able to “Think Globally, and Act Locally."
