As I have written about many times here on Care2.com, supporting our small and family farmers is vital to ensuring a thriving, sustainable agricultural system. There are many ways to do this, but the most direct way is to buy from a local farm or farmer.
And, as the holidays approach you can help support our local farmers while getting your holiday shopping done, giving your friends and family some great gifts.
It’s also a great way to avoid the big box stores and the stress of the holiday shopping season. Best of all, you are not only supporting local farmers and local food, but also the local economy. Here are some ideas to bring the farm home to your friends and family.

Great reminder - farmers have an ominous task to provide good quality products - with so many of natures variables to deal with - farmers are special folks and I encourage everyone to support them whenever you can.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the great post!
A wonderful article full of great ideas. Read with a lot of interest followed by nostalgic memories of a childhood when all these activities were the order of the day! Thank you very much.
Thank you for posting.
We live in agricultural country which has local farmer's markets, craft fairs and pottery shows, as well as many local wineries, jammeries and even chocolate sauce manufacturers. Small scale cottage industries are fun to support especially at Christmas as they seem to genuinely be involved in the Christmas spirit. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks.
