What started in a garage with pipe from the hardware store is now a 90-person factory shipping nearly a thousand wind chimes a day. Today, Scott Paul speaks with Luke Croushorn of Wind River, the Manassas, Virginia chime maker that has been handcrafting wind chimes, birdhouses, and garden decor since 1986. Luke shares how founder Mike Throne built the company from Florida craft fairs into a national brand, why Wind River invests in redwood, a custom aluminum alloy, and hand-assembled craftsmanship, and how the company's long-term employees, multilingual workforce, and tagline "Inspiring Harmony" reflect its commitment to quality, community, and American manufacturing.
