What better way to spread the cheer this holiday season than with some yummy artisan products from The Produce Box? Supporting our artisans is great for the local economy and makes it possible for small business owners to make what they love while they provide for their families. There are lots of gifts you could buy this year for friends and coworkers, but why not give them something you love and something you know they’ll enjoy? We’ve checked our list and checked it twice, and here’s a variety of offerings you can’t miss for the people on your nice list before we close for the season!

    
Feed your holiday guests a TPB breakfast!
Give your favorite meathead a taste of minimally processed all-natural pork from Heritage Cheshire Farm. Bacon, sausage, pepperoni - all come from Wayne County taste great and have no fillers, preservatives, added hormones, steroids, or artificial ingredients. We also have wonderful Ladyfingers Ham Rolls on the menu this week -- easy to make and delicious to eat!

Local coffee, jam, fruits like citrus, delicious local apples and starfruit, special teas including Chocolate Peppermint and Gingerbread and even local honey packages -- all make for a delicious local breakfast treat!

Jars of Joy to Spread the Love – Try out these spreads! There’s delicious local honey (in one or two-packs) and TPB Strawberry preserves and blueberry jam made with produce from this year’s harvests!

Don’t forget your Stocking Stuffers – These treats will be a sure hit! Chocolate Peanut Butter granola and Strawberry Banana and Maine Blueberry granola from Huntington Provision, Carolina Candy peanut toffee, Rain’s Brittle Bits, and chocolate pecans from Berry Towne Crafts. Yum!

We have been eating a lot more vegetable-laden salads, and cutting out items like juice, sugary cereal, and desserts. But I’ve been avoiding cooking a family favorite, Te...
