2013 Georgia Grown Gift Guide

Originally published in the Dec. 11, 2013, issue

 

Even after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, we’re guessing there are still a few people left to shop for on your holiday gift list. The Market Bulletin staff invited Georgia Grown members to submit Christmas goodies for our annual gift guide, which we hope will help you take care of presents for co-workers, friends, family and more. We had such an outpouring of submissions that we ran out of room! Check out the full version with photos of each item at gamktbulletinblog.blogspot.com. Tax and shipping are not included in these prices unless otherwise specified. Items with the * symbol will be available for purchase at the Georgia Grown Christmas Showcase on Dec. 14.
