Connecticut Holiday Gift Guide: Creative Gift Ideas From Local Makers
In partnership with: Connecticut Department of Agriculture
Connecticut might be better known as a home to many financial services firms and a large maritime industry, but since colonial times, it has been a leader in agriculture with a diverse mix from plant nurseries to dairy farms to fruit growers. The average farm size is only 82 acres, and the state is made up of mostly small- to medium-sized family farms.
We’ve selected a few products from Connecticut farms for our state gift guide. Imagine the delight in the faces of your friends and family when opening presents this holiday season to find they were carefully selected gifts from one of the many farmers, artisans, chefs and creators in Connecticut. You can find even more local products through the Connecticut Department of Agriculture.
