This Holiday season we encourage you to shop local for all your Holiday needs. You can visit our online Food & Beverage Guide filled with 70+ locally made products and purchase a wide array of products, from meat, to candied nuts, bakery treats, sauces, hand-roasted coffee, dairy items, wine, beer, spirits and so much more. By shopping locally you help reduce the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation of goods, sustain and create employment opportunities for local residents, encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, further contributing to the local economy.
The Montgomery County Food Council is partnering with the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection to challenge County residents to reduce waste during the holiday season by thinking differently about how to shop for and give gifts. The amount of household waste in the U.S. increases an average of 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day (EPA).
Wrapping paper, decorations, packaging, and leftover food (and sometimes even the gifts we buy), often don’t last long and end up in the waste stream. To learn more about the DEP’s Gift Outside the Box campaign click here.
Check out some special offers below from our network of MoCo Made businesses. Happy Holiday shopping, thank you for supporting your local community.
