Happy Gift Guide Day!

As we usher in the season of cinnamon and pies, I’ve put together a smattering of gifts and treats for all the food- or sustainability-minded colleagues, friends and family members in your life. I hope it helps you navigate the often-too-stressful end-of-year rush! I tried to balance the accessible with the drool-worthy, and I truly believe there’s a gift for everyone here.

I’ll plug myself for a moment, too. Consider supporting my journalism and purchasing the just-released paperback edition of my book Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed and the Fight for the Future of Meat. The new afterword is revealing and illuminating, and the book can speak to anyone interested in economics, climate change or what we eat. Why not pick up a copy for the next host gift you need? There’s a lot of hosting coming up these next few weeks, and no one wants to be the guest that shows up empty-handed.

Otherwise, enjoy the browsing, and don’t forget: It’s a glorious time of year to support local makers. Below I’ve compiled gifts that can ship nationwide, but it’s best to seek out the experts in your area—from jam specialists to ceramicists. Farmers markets and neighborhood holiday fairs are a great way to connect with the artisans nearest you.
