The holiday season is officially in full swing and you know what that means… a reason to go shopping! Small Business Saturday is the Saturday after Thanksgiving and is dedicated to supporting small businesses. During the trying times we have experienced the past two years, this day may be one of the most important to show our gratitude to the “small guys” that made it through and continue to provide for their community. The best part about supporting local small businesses is the influence you are making on someone’s story and dream. You are helping them survive and thrive.
There are many ways to support your small agricultural businesses on November 27th this year. Grab some delicious beverages from the Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries to make the perfect gift basket that anybody would enjoy. You can find a list of the Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries list here, then clicking on the craft beverage tab.
Everyone loves cheese! Moo Cow Creamery is offering pre made gift boxes with 
their cheeses and butter made from the cows they care for every day.
Need a tasty treat after all the shopping, be sure to stop at our two creameries, Rocky Point Creamery and South Mountain Creamery, to treat that sweet tooth.
Still need a Christmas tree? Support the local Christmas tree farmers for small business Saturday by cutting your own tree to officially start your holiday season. You can find a list of Christmas tree farms here.
The list could go on and on, but we encourage you this year to shop local and support the small business community for small business Saturday. Be sure to check out homegrownfrederick.com to explore all things about Frederick County agriculture and more places to support this holiday season.
