Old Friends Farm Ginger Syrup for sure! It’s great for cocktails and warm drinks. 10% of all Shabadoo sales benefits the Food Bank! ––Andrew Morehouse Here at the Food Bank we’re huge fans of Shabadoo Black and Tan Ale from Berkshire Brewing Company. ––Lisa EkusĪ local beverage-to add local flavor to holiday festivities this could be a bottle of local wine or mead (paired with local cheese?), aStoneman Brewery beer jug, or a bottle of local hard cider (maybe together with local apple or pear varieties in a taste-of-the-orchard basket?) ––CISAįarmers’ market tokens––a great gift to encourage the ones you love to pick out exactly what they want! ––CISA I keep one bottle in my fridge and one backup in my cupboard at ALL times. Sriracha from The Kitchen Garden for its perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and sassy. Here at Franklin Community Co-op we have a generous selection of locally produced cheeses, charcuterie, grocery items, and gift cards that would make a delicious gift basket anyone would enjoy! op ––Kim Nyiri Gift baskets are a fun and delicious way to give the gift of local flavor.
––Lisa EkusĪn oyster or shiitake mushroom-growing kit from Mycoterra Farm-these make a great gift for kids (who love to water them and watch the mushrooms grow) or adults (who can enjoy several rounds of delicious mushroom harvests).

Picked up a bottle of Valley Vinegar’s apple cider vinegar at Atkins and loved it! Plus it’s cool that they have vinegars named after places in the Pioneer Valley, and a New England collection too. (At press time, Black Birch had sold through its stock of Corot Noir, but they have other varietals in stock and ready for gifting!) ––Rus Peotter Even better, it’s a relatively unknown varietal and, frankly, pretty good wine. It’s local, made by great people who run a wonderful, fun, responsible, and committed operation. My favorite small gift (for adults) is a bottle (or more … ) of Black Birch Winery Corot Noir.
