Kentucky gift giving that gives back

12/2/2014

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)


Personal Care & Clothing

Thistle Farms (amazing skin care products created by the women at Thistle Farms-take a moment to read more about their personal stories of redemption.  This one's in TN, but it's close and I love what they do so much.)

Selva Chalinas (my friend Selva designs beautiful hand crafted items for everyone in your family)


Subscriptions for Good Food

Zest Juice for Life (Who doesn't need some fresh, wholesome food in their life after the holidays?  Consider giving the gift of live to someone who loves fresh juice)
