Bonus: Include some local/regional products to support local food makers that might be especially welcome for out-of-town friends and family. (Tip: look for “local” tags and the local foods display at your Ingles Market)
Protein Lovers… How about an assortment of different types of jerky and meat sticks including meat sticks by Hickory Nut Gap Farm and even trout jerky from Sunburst Trout Farms. These make great stocking stuffers or put them in a gift bag or box.
