One of the things I love about the holidays is the ability to splurge a bit on those whom I love so much. Here's a list of some of my favorite locally sourced products. Many of them available right here in Bowling Green, Kentucky or can be shipped to you from other parts of the state. All of them come from the heart of good people who will use your financial support to do amazing things within their community.
Oils & Sauces
Stuarto's (my favorite olive oils and balsamic vinegars come from this company-you have to try the fig balsamic-it makes eating your greens so much easier)
Farmer's Daughter sauce from The Coffee Cart (a delicious blend of locally sourced sweet and spice-you can use this on anything)
