Christmas and holiday shopping may take up more time than you’d like in this busy season. But shopping local has many benefits, unique and meaningful gifts being at the top of the list.

And this year, shopping local for fun and different gifts is made quick and easy with the 2022 Minnesota Grown Gift Guide.

Buying local with the help of this guide lets you support small businesses and business owners. The guide, published by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, showcases local owners selling anything from wine to pork chops, and wool soap to wildflowers.

You can click through the guide by product to be led to local businesses or sellers selling specialty items.

Categories to shop through in the gift guide

Each category also features a map of where storefronts are located for easy planning.

If you’re looking to give the gift of experience, classes and workshops are available from 50 different sellers. Experiences range from wine tasting and gardening to visiting alpaca farms and renting rural farm homes.

Some products are also available for purchase online. Check out these Minnesota coasters, pork chops, or wool socks.
