Three Places to Find Foods, Gifts, and More

Products are found in every state and country.Amy asks:

“How can I find products in my state? I don’t think there are many manufacturers here, but I don’t know how to check.”

There are three ways to find products in your state.

1. Visit your state’s department of agriculture Web site.

State sites usually have a search engine box on all pages. Put the words “specialty foods” in the box and press the search button to see if anything appears. In addition, look around the site to see if wholesale food links are present.

2. Research the existence of a state specialty food association.

Not all states have one, but yours may. For example, if you live in Tennessee, type the phrase, “Tennessee specialty food association” in a search engine, and put quotes around the words just as you see here.

You may be pleasantly surprised to find a site that leads you to members’ names, addresses, and Web sites.

3. I created a gift basket wholesale supplies site to make it easy for gift basket designers and related professionals to locate products. Check for state resources, which are in alphabetized orderat the top of each page.
