Who doesn’t need a cutting board in their kitchen? And there’s literally no reason why that cutting board shouldn’t be American-made. There are LOTS of options and some are very, very affordable. I’ve put together a list of the companies I’ve found so far.
Colena Kitchen
Colena Kitchen produces cutting boards made from Sanatec HDPE, a BPA and Phthalate-free material ideal for food preparation (they’re dishwasher safe too). Each board features slip-resistant texture and handles, designed for easy food prep and use. Their products are 100% made in the USA, all the way from material sourcing to the final inspection. They offer both or small and large size, or you can buy their boards as a set.
Cutting boards start at $14.97.
Sonder LA
Sonder LA was started by a couple in Los Angeles who are extremely passionate about designing products that are not just functional, but that make you want to show them off too. Not all of their cutting boards are made in the USA. At the moment I see 4 options – Alfred, Franklin, Welton (these are all made from beautiful American Black Walnut) and Winsome (their cheapest USA-made option and is made from American Maple)
Cutting boards start at $79.95.
JK Adams
JK Adams crafts award-winning cutting boards in Vermont from sustainably harvested North American hardwoods. Their collection spans professional end grain and edge grain boards in walnut, maple, and cherry.

Virginia Boys Kitchens
Virginia Boys Kitchens makes high-quality wooden cutting boards in Virginia (yeah, one of those times the company name is NOT confusing).

Liberty Tabletop
Liberty Tabletop offers a much more diverse selection of USA-made cutting boards than other companies I’ve listed, showcasing various designs such as the Gourmet Series, Over the Counter Pastry Board, and unique shapes like guitar and wine bottle.

Made In
Made In doesn’t have as many options as other companies list – in fact it just has one, but it’s beautiful. Their Butcher Block Cutting Board is made from maple wood sourced and manufactured in Virginia. It’s steamed for durability and features an edge-grain design that is two-sided, enhancing its strength and longevity. The maple wood is professionally kiln-dried in a humidity-controlled factory, which contributes to the cutting board’s overall quality and resilience. This thing is built to last and will look great in your kitchen!

Epicurean offers a good number of different cutting boards, most of which are designed and manufactured at a 60,000 square-foot facility in Superior, Wisconsin.
