Unique or special products made in your town or city? (Bloomington: college, live)

[rrah]

Something made me start thinking about what types of local products are made in different cities/towns in our state.

For example, in Bloomington we have Oliver Winery, Butler Winery, Bloomington Brewing Company (beer), Upland Brewing Company (I'm seeing a trend here--maybe because it's a college town?) On the other end of the spectrum we have Dillman Farms. They produce delicious fruit butters, jams, jellies, salsas, etc.

I would love to learn about other local products. (For example, when we travel to Chicago or NW IN via 65 there is a group of silos with the name of a popcorn brand on it. Starts with a "G" I think. I always wonder if they sell it in a little shop or something.) It could be an interesting thread for a Sunday morning.

Here's the popcorn place on 65. Popcorn is a big industry in Indiana. Pop Weaver's popcorn is also here:

Orville Redenbacher used to be in Indiana, but now it exists as only a brand name owned by ConAgra.

My town makes lots and lots and lots and lots of engines, fuel systems too. Simmons Winery is here. We also make car seats, Boudreau's Butt Paste (the best diaper rash creme ever)

I forgot about one of our biggest companies--Cook Inc. that makes medical devices and supplies.
