Farmers Market Gifts and Gifts for Gardeners

As a gardener and supporter of agritourism, I had to end this year's holiday gift guides with some gardener gifts and gifts for farmers market lovers. Of course, I'd highly recommend that you head to your local farm markets and farm stores for some unique holiday gifts. Additionally, there are likely some agritourism experiences in your area that allow you to buy season passes, which can be a great gift for families that supports local farms. (If you're in Rochester, I've included one in this list for you!) That said, ordering gifts for gardeners online can also be a great option if you don't have much nearby. Check out these gifts for farmers market lovers and gardeners that'll delight anyone with a green thumb or a penchant for produce.
