I had a party before Thanksgiving and what did we have, we had Hickory Farms. LOTS of Hickory Farms and everyone went home with their own box. Ok, each couple went home with their own box, and I had a few boxes left over to give to people here and there and the response has always been.

REALLY? That’s for me? I Love Hickory Farms, or some response just like it. I have to admit it’s been so much fun sharing the boxes of Hickory Farms with those around me. I love being Santa! And Everyone LOVES Hickory Farms!

Growing up for me, we didn’t buy Hickory Farms, but for my husband this has always been a fun tradition. When we got married that year for Christmas we had to go out and get cheese and a Hickory Farms Beef Stick. I remember that it was a special meal for the two of us. Neither one of us are very big eaters, don’t get me wrong I LOVE FOOD, but we just don’t eat a large quantity, so we would get two meals out of the beef stick and cheese. We haven’t done it every single year but we talk about doing it ever single year and bought it often. This year thanks to my blog we didn’t have to buy any, and I’m still giving it away. I have one huge box left and I’m trying to decide who should get it.

So Why does everyone like Hickory Farms:

I think everyone Likes Hickory Farms for some sentimental reason. So many people have family traditions or holiday traditions wrapped around Hickory Farms. Plus the quality and taste just make you think holiday party. One of the best serving trays to make is a meat and cheese tray, and Hickory Farms includes the cheese, the sausage, and fruit, crackers, and condiments all in one box. The selection of gourmet gift baskets are filled with fresh, quality ingredients.

The Orchards Bounty basket (which contains fresh produce) was enjoyed by our whole family. The kids loved the pears, who knew they were going to like pears. Plus the oranges and apples were a great addition to the meat and cheese assortment. The basket was quite beautiful too!

And You know I’m all about the charity aspect:

For a limited time this holiday season, for each Party Planner Gift Box sold, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength, a leading national non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America.  Additionally, for 40 of these gift items, Hickory Farms provides free military shipping, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.
