2022 Shop Local Gift Guide Art by Sarah Lanier Art
Shopping Locally Benefits Us All Ventura County contains an extraordinary collection of artisans and creators that bring vibrancy to the region. Shopping these local purveyors helps our local economy, employs local people, and helps keep friends, neighbors and families in business during these trying times. Like many of these, we are also a small locally owned business. Supporting our ad partners keeps us going and allows us to continue to share the stories and recipes that bring so many joy. This holiday season we encourage you to support local businesses as much as possible. And tell them we sent you!
