Each year as the holidays roll in, We see lots of gift guides online and I enjoy going through the various ideas people offer up. The ones we enjoy the most include gifts that you don’t see very often, unique gifts always grab our eyes.

This year, We decided to work ahead and pull together our own gift guide, featuring some of the farmers we know (and a few of their friends too) who have really cool things available! So this will definitely be a guide that has unique options! And don’t forget there are also posts on cotton gifts and the ways to tell Santa is a farmer or rancher!

Pheasant Hunting in the Flint Hills of Kansas

Located deep in the tallgrass prairie, the native fields and grass are excellent for hunting pheasant and quail. Level Creek Outfitters is a family owned hunting service, on a working cattle ranch. The views are spectacular, the personalized service excellent, and the birds are plentiful. Owner and operator Trent Blythe is motivated to provide you with the best hunting experience. Come experience the prairie that feels far from civilization–but is only 45 miles from Manhattan, Ks.

They have many options available for Controlled Shooting Hunts, and of course, can customize a hunt for you. Enjoy home cooked meals and relax between hunts; enjoy a campfire or the latest game on tv. Come for the hunting; come back for the service!

Fresh California Avocados

Last spring we had a chance to visit a friend met at a produce marketing show years ago and have visited a few times since. Her blog and her personal brand say it all — MimiAvocado! You can learn lots about avocados there AND get recipes. Mimi’s family farm operates a fourth generation farm outside of San Diego and ship fresh picked avocados from our trees to your door.
