Tour of Georgia Stop #5: Coastal Georgia

Our Tour of Georgia is coming to an end and our last regional stop is Coastal Georgia. Grab a fruity drink and your SPF! We, of course, had to finish our trip around the Peach State on the beach.

Meet the Artisans

Byrd Cookie Company

In 1924, Ben Tillman Byrd, Sr. began baking small batches of cookies from his bakery in Savannah, Georgia, packing them in wooden crates, and personally delivering them to neighborhood markets in his Model T Ford. The cookies were soon christened “Byrd’s Famous Cookies” and steadily gained popularity not only locally, but also among visitors who discovered the delicious confections while visiting Savannah. Today, Byrd Cookie Company is one of the largest and fastest-growing independent cookie, snack and gift companies in the United States. You can find their Lemon Cooler and Georgia Peach Cookies in our Coastal Georgia gift box.

Salacia Salts

Located near the iconic fountain in Forsyth Park where Forrest Gump dropped notable one-liners, Salacia Salts was founded in 2012 by Cari Clark Phelps. This small business is filled with bath and beauty products made from all-natural organic ingredients locally-sourced and inspired by scents of the South. Plus, each product is packed by hand in sustainable packaging to help preserve the beauty of the earth. Like all other great prophecies, the idea for Salacia Salts came from a dream. Cari literally had a dream she was packaging salts to sell to visitors in Savannah. From your lips to your toes, Cari has created products filled with natural ingredients to make every inch of your body feel soft, exfoliated, and moisturized. You can find Salacia Salts Lemon Lavender Body Butter in our Coastal Georgia gift box.

Dr. Pete's 

The small southern town of Ailey, Georgia is home to Dr. Pete's Foods. Dr. Pete's is known for their delicious marinades, sauces, dressings, baking mixes, and the famous Praline Mustard Glaze. Dr. T. A. Peterson, known as Dr. Pete to his patients, was reared in this sleepy south Georgia town. After becoming a doctor, he was often seen with his worn, black leather doctor's bag in hand entering homes around Savannah. As much as Dr. Pete loved his practice of medicine, he equally loved the art of cooking, and he spent many joyous hours creating and preparing wonderful dishes and sauces for his family and friends. In 1985, his daughter and son-in-law, Jan and Joel Coffee, began bottling some of his recipes, and selling them to the public under the "Dr. Pete's" label. Many of Dr. Pete's products have won awards, including the Flavor of Georgia award for their Praline Mustard Glaze and Best Baked Gold Award for their Key Lime Squares and Rustic French Boule Mixes. You can find their award winning Key Lime Square baking mix in our Coastal Georgia gift box. 

MaMa E's Home Bakery

Marie Motes's dream for many years was to open a home bakery. When she retired in October 2012, she decided to make her dream come true. With much encouragement from coworkers, friends, and family, she made it happen. Marie has a small bakery in Metter, Georgia but you can occasionally find her at local arts and crafts festivals. As for the name "MaMa E's," in Marie's words: "This is what my grandchildren call me. As most of you know, the first grandchild names you. My grandson, Taylor, was suppose to call me MaMa Marie but he cut it short. Taylor called me 'MaMa E', and it stuck." Ideal for any occasion, MaMa E's cheese straws, featured in our Coastal Georgia gift box, are light and crispy with just the right amount of cayenne pepper. 

We had the best time exploring (virtually) exploring Coastal Georgia and getting a little vitamin sea in Savannah. To bring a little bit of the coast to your door step, shop the Coastal Georgia gift box here.

Unicoi Preserves

Suzy and Clark Neal founded Unicoi Preserves out of a desire to produce products from ingredients they could source locally from their Georgia mountain region. They created their popular Salted Caramel Peach Spread, featured in our North Georgia gift box, from a bushel of Lane Southern Orchards Ruby Prince peaches sourced after a day of vending at a Georgia Grown festival. The Neals are competitive home cooks and their products have won numerous awards including being named a finalist at UGA Flavor of Georgia Food Product Contest and winning a World Hot Sauce Best of Show award. You can find recipes on their website to cook their delicious creations at home. The Neals moved to Sautee-Nacoochee, GA from south Georgia in 2008 because they were drawn to the area for its outdoor recreation opportunities.

Honey On The Hill

Dale Fisher is the founder, owner and head beekeeper at Honey On The Hill. After his last tour in Afghanistan, Dale found himself injured both mentally and physically and searching for something to keep him out of a dark place. After trying other farming ventures, he found that harvesting honey was his passion. In fact, he credits honeybees with saving his life by giving him focus, balance, and a reason to face a new day with every sunrise. With that, Dale started Honey On The Hill with the goal of providing the best raw, sustainably-sourced honey available on the market. Today, Honey On The Hill has grown to not only provide raw honey varieties but also gourmet candy, beauty products, and SuperFood Heroes. You can find Honey On The Hill Wildflower Honey and Bee Peachy Sugar Scrub in our North Georgia gift box. 

Nora Mill Granary

Nora Mill Granary has been a part of North Georgia history for over 100 years. The mill was built in 1876 complete with 1,500 pound French Burr Mill Stones and a 100 ft. wooden raceway that feeds water to a water turbine - not a vertical water wheel. In 1902 Dr. Lamartine G. Hardman bought the mill and named it "Nora Mill" in memory of his sister Nora. After a succession of millers throughout the years, in the early 1980s, Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ron Fain worked with the Hardman family and leased Nora Mill for him and his parents to bring back to life and operate. Ron became the Miller of Nora Mill. Over the years, Ron worked with his parents until their passing, and then brought his youngest daughter Joann in under his wing to learn the art of milling and work the Nora Mill business. Nora Mill is now in the fourth generation of the Fain family operation as Joe Vandegriff and his wife Addi, along with Joann Fain Tarpley, with husband Rich, continue to manage and operate Nora Mill Granary. There have been many changes over the years, but the main idea is still the same: to grind fresh grains with no additives or preservatives with old-fashioned quality. Nora Mill has recently gone through a major refurbishing to help continue the legacy of the Mill for many years to come. You can find their Wild Blueberry Muffin and Pancake mix in our North Georgia gift box.

Jumpin Goat Coffee Roasters

Jumpin Goat Coffee Roasters in Cleveland was founded with the goal of providing the best coffee possible. Their products are the highest quality single origin beans and flavored coffees offered anywhere in the world. You may wonder, "what do goats have to do with coffee?" Their name originates from the ancient folklore of how coffee was discovered. In the 1500's, a Goat herdsman an Ethiopian named Kaldi would free range feed his goats. His goats would always stop and eat the red ripe cherries that grew on a bush and after eating these red cherries they would start jumping and running around with a new burst of energy. He shared his experience with friends and fellow Herdsman, and they all decided to pick some of the red berries and boil them. Once they had boiled them and decided to drink the juice, they felt a new burst of energy and knew that this is what the goats had experienced as well. The news of this new drink spread around the world and became known as Coffee. You can find Jumpin Goat Southern Pecan Coffee in our North Georgia gift box.

It was so refreshing to visit the North Georgia mountains for this piece of our Tour of Georgia. To have a tranquil escape to North Georgia from your home, order our North Georgia gift box here.

They have produced their small batch products in Atlanta for more than 25 years. Bella Cucina has been featured on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” show, in “O" Magazine, Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, Better Homes & Garden, and Cooking Light. Their Artichoke Lemon Pesto, featured in our Made in Atlanta gift box, was chosen as one of "Oprah's Favorite Things" early on, which gave their brand great exposure.

Georgia Sourdough Co. 

After 25 years in the restaurant business, founder & baker Tracy Gribbon started Georgia Sourdough Co. She started Georgia Sourdough Co. with the idea that we should all get back to basics when it comes to our food without having to worry about harmful ingredients, GMOs, and chemicals. Georgia Sourdough Co. only uses organic flour which costs 130% more than conventional flour. However, they believe it is worth it to keep Glyophosphate out of their crackers and people’s bellies. Handmade from scratch the crackers are rolled, baked and sliced into crackers each shaped as unique as the next. You can find Georgia Sourdough Co. Sea Salt Crackers in our Made in Atlanta gift box. 

Caja Popcorn

Caja Popcorn started as a small storefront on Peachtree Road in 2012. Their goal was simple - to produce a fresh and flavorful popcorn by hand using only quality ingredients from chef-driven recipes. Their family continues this mission today, bringing customers the same flavorful, honest, small-batch popcorn as the day they first opened their doors. The result is a variety of Sweet, Savory, and Spicy flavor options with a Southern Flair. Caja Popcorn is lead by chief popper, Nick McCormick, who is a trained chef with nearly 20 years in the industry. Why choose gourmet popcorn as a culinary creation? In his words, "I love popcorn because it is the perfect vehicle to experiment with unique and distinct flavors - and share those flavors with others." You can find their Pimento Cheese Popcorn in our Made in Atlanta gift box. 

Beautiful Briny Sea

Beautiful Briny Sea began in 2011 when restauranteur Suzi Sheffield decided to find new adventures and pursue her culinary passion. With a ton of creativity and a flair for whimsy, Suzi started Beautiful Briny Sea in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward. Their salt blends amp up the flavor of any dish or creation and are made in small-batches. They currently have 12 different salt batches and are always dreaming up new creations in the Salt Shack. You can find their Magical Unicorn Salt in our Made in Atlanta gift box.

Montane Sparkling Spring Water

There's only one pure sparkling spring water on the market and it's made right here in the Peach State. Cason and Virginia Callaway set out on a mission to connect man and nature in a way that benefits both, establishing Callaway Gardens in the 1950s. Since then, four generations of the family have expanded this mission by founding Montane Sparkling Spring Water. Montane Sparkling spring water is derived from Blue Springs’ quartzite bedrock, which produces some of the purest water on the planet. Upholding the purity of this refreshing product, you won't find any artificial sweeteners, calories, sugar or sodium in Montane products. Each flavor of Montane Sparkling Water stays true to the Southern heritage of the family. A 2019 Flavor of Georgia winner, their Grapefruit Peach flavor can be found in our Made in Atlanta gift box.

We loved (virtually) visiting Georgia's capital and seeing these wonderful artisans. To take a trip to the ATL without leaving your home, shop our Made in Atlanta gift box here.

One artisan duo who calls Columbus home is Margaret and Neal Amos, the mother-and-son team behind Southern Straws. Growing up, Neal and his younger brothers would watch their mother make thousands of cheese straws for friends during the holidays. In 2014, they turned their hobby into a business when they launched Southern Straws. The foundation for their delicious cheese straws is an old recipe Margaret got from her mother. Their unique bite-size shape makes them perfect for salads, soups, chili, even grits! Southern Straws offers three flavors of cheese straws including: Original, their most popular flavor with a nice kick of spice featured in our Middle Georgia gift box; Spicy, for those who like a little more heat; and Mild, no heat but focused on the rich cheddar flavor.

Biron Teas initial herbal blends were made for friends and family to help them overcome the stage of life they were going through. Love & Laughter was made for a friend going through a bad break-up.

Their Peach Honeybush Tea is featured in our Middle Georgia gift box.  

Rinse Bath & Body

In 2002, Heather Swanepoel took up soap-making as hobby after figuring out she was horrible at knitting. To justify making pounds of soap at a time to her husband, she would give away her soap to anyone who would take it. As she experimented with ingredients, she found herself perfecting products and people wanted to buy her products. With that, Rinse Bath & Body was born. With 20 product categories, they offer divine smelling products from soaps to shower bombs to lip balms and beyond. You can find Rinse Bath & Body at over 1500 retail partners (including Georgia Crafted, of course!) as well as Disneyland and Disney World. The Georgia Crafted Peaches carry multiple varieties of their products and are excited to feature their Oats & Honey soap in our Middle Georgia gift box.

Corks Kettle Corn

Another great college town, Statesboro is not only home to Georgia Southern but also some of the best kettle corn you'll ever taste from Corks Kettle Corn. On a whim, David Cork bought a kettle corn cooker in the early 2000’s and started popping at the local farmers market. From that simple beginning, Corks Kettle Corn has grown their wholesale distribution and ships popcorn all over the country. They offer multiple varieties of kettle corn including their famous Original Kettle Corn, Old Fashioned Caramel Corn, and their Simply Salted Corn.

Their Original Kettle Corn is featured in our Middle Georgia gift box and you can shop all of their products in our Middle Georgia collection. 

Phickles Pickles

Athens is not only home to the University of Georgia and the Dawgs but also Phickles Pickles. In 2008, Angie Tillman began selling pickled veggies off her front porch and then in stores all over Georgia. With that, Phickles Pickles was born. A definite foodie and talented cook, Angie  has shared recipes on her social media platforms over the years - many of which have now become products she's added to the Phickles brand!  In her words, "Pretty much... if it's something I like to eat, I'm packaging it for resell!" At this time, Phickles offers seven different pickled veggies, two cheese spreads, three bbq sauces, two pepper jellies and a salsa.... all are gluten-free and low sugar. Her top-selling Phickles Carrot Stix are featured in our Middle Georgia gift box.

Watanut

You may know Augusta for the legendary Masters golf tournament but this charming town also features lovely small businesses like Watanut. Augusta, Georgia natives and Watanut founders, Brian and Kam Kyzer, are adventurous, creative, and love to take the road less traveled. Their gourmet nut mixes and shortbread cookies are made from scratch from the finest ingredients, baked fresh daily, and packed by hand. They source local growers and shellers for Georgia’s best pecans for their gourmet pecan gifts.The name Watanut comes from their enthusiasm and passion for what they do.

Tour of Georgia Stop #1: South Georgia

Known for rolling fields of farmland, dirt roads, and some of the best eats you can find, South Georgia is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the big city to just take it slow and relax.

Oliver Farm

Oliver Farm is located in rural Wilcox County near Pitts, Georgia. With only 3 total stop lights in the entire county, you could say that this area of the Peach State is certified small town USA.

With multiple awards behind their products including a 2017 Good Food Award & the 2015 Garden & Gun Made in the South award, their various pure oils are cooking companions for chefs, foodies, and home cooks alike. Their infused Sunflower Oil featured in our South Georgia gift box is their best-selling oil and can be used for dipping bread, sauteing vegetables, or enhancing grilled or baked meats.

After a busy summer spent at his local farmers market in Downtown Tifton, he began his peppery journey to making and creating Wisham Jellies for store shelves in October 2013. Wisham Jellies Pepper Jellies are handmade with whole peppers and fruits which keeps their ingredients list short and sweet. Their Peachy Peach Pepper Jelly can be used in a variety of ways and is featured in our South Georgia gift box. 

Grassroots Coffee

Thomasville is known for the Rose Show, Victorian Christmas, and great quail hunting, but one gem located in historic Downtown is Grassroots Coffee.

The Georgia Crafted Peaches (and mini-Peaches) are loading up and having one last Explore Georgia adventure before Summer 2020 ends.

Valentine's day isn't for everyone, whether you're single, dating, married, or otherwise. Some of us just don't see the need for a forced date night wherever you can grab a reservation or a teddy bear to add to the collection buried at the bottom of your closet. However, we can all get behind the idea of Galentine's day.

Not familiar with Galentine's Day? Well, occurring one day before the other well-known, seemingly made-up holiday, Galentine's Day takes place on February 13th and aims to celebrate the friends who are always there for you. The Georgia Crafted Peaches appreciate our gal pals who are there to recap and discuss the drama happening on the Bachelor every Monday night, always down for a Girl's Night Out when our busy schedules have a free spot, and know when we need a good bottle of Georgia-grown wine and conversation. 

To celebrate the women who fill our lives with love and laughter, we're bringing you the Galentine's Day Essentials you need to build a gift box fit for a true queen to celebrate your friendship that will always stand the test of time. 

Wine Glass

Every great conversation with our gal pals involves a glass of wine so why not send a new stemless wine glass to clink another success or day done? Our exclusive etched wine glasses feature an outline of the Peach State along with the words, "On My Mind" to remind her of that old sweet song and her home state she loves so much. All you need to add is a Georgia-grown bottle of her favorite wine and you're ready for another session of much-needed friend therapy. 

Anything Chocolate

True friends always add a little bit of chocolate to every gift they give each other. Our selection of Georgia-made chocolate products is the perfect way to make sure your friend always has her chocolate fix after a long day. With everything from chocolate bars to cookies to toffee, you can easily add these decadent treats to your Galentine's gift box here.

Something Sweet

If your Galentine isn't a fan of chocolate, we still have plenty of sweet treats to choose from for every flavor preference. Cookies, pecans, honey pops, and more are ready to be added to your Galentine's gift box and are perfectly enjoyed while watching her favorite rom-com or latest Netflix binge. Check out our "Sweets" collection here.

Something Salty

Since you've covered added something sweet to her gift box, now it's time for a salty, small-batch snack to enjoy. Best enjoyed while crunching and munching through the Bachelor or the Real Housewives of Atlanta, a bag of Southern Straws Cheese Straws, Cork's Kettle Corn,  or High Cotton Co.

The confetti has settled so now it’s time to get to work on those New Year’s Resolutions. Your Georgia Crafted Peaches have a proposed resolution for you that doesn’t involve the gym. Instead, we want you to make a commitment to shop local more often in 2020.

You might ask yourself, “Why should I make more of an effort to shop local this year?” Well, check out these top five reasons to shop local in 2020 below.

1. You support the local Georgia economy.

Every purchase you make locally makes a difference. Approximately 67 cents for every dollar spent at small businesses stays in the community and supports the local Georgia economy. Instead of sending your hard earned money overseas or to support an already rich CEO, your local purchase makes a difference and supports the businesses that make your town unique.

2. You support the dreams of artisans around the state.

Shopping local doesn’t just support the local Georgia economy. Every dollar spent also supports the dreams of community members in your city. Small businesses are founded by folks who have a true passion for their craft or product. From a local veteran who founded a honey business to Georgia Grown pecan farmers who have kept the family business going for generations, behind every small business is a hard-working individual or family with the goal of bringing you the highest quality product you can buy.

3. Small-batch products are the best quality.

Because local artisans have a passion for their craft, you can bet your bottom dollar that you are receiving the highest quality product when shopping local. One of the many advantages of supporting local artisans is each product is handcrafted in small batches.

The freezing temperatures and shorter days have the Georgia Crafted Peaches craving all things cozy. When we want to make our homes feel (and smell) warm and inviting, we reach for a Jack Be Nimble candle. 

Recently, we had the chance to sit down with Paul “Jack” Bruschi, a former professional ballet dancer and founder of Jack Be Nimble candles. 

In 2008, Paul founded Jack Be Nimble after being dissatisfied with run-of-the-mill, low-quality candles offered in stores. 

“I decided I was tired of buying candles that smelled great in the store just to get them home, and they lost their smell after a couple of burns. I knew there had to be a better way.”

With that, Paul began crafting his own signature formula that would later be the foundation for all Jack Be Nimble candles. 

 “I started experimenting and a year later, I felt I had the formula that would make a candle that smelled amazing from start to finish.  Jack Be Nimble was born and I still use that same formula today in all our candles.”

Jack Be Nimble upholds an unwavering commitment to quality that you won’t find in big box store candles. Hand-poured in batches of 12 in their Atlanta studio, all Jack Be Nimble candles are made using American grown soy wax, all-natural cotton wicks & fine fragrance oils. Plus, each candle has a clean burn time of 50+ hours.

When it comes to the divine smell of each Jack Be Nimble candle, Paul is inspired by smells that ignite nostalgia, like his fond memories of his childhood in Georgia, and his devoted customer base.

“I love developing scents that are nostalgic in some way and recall some pleasant memory from your past. Many of our scents, like Georgia On My Mind, come from things I remember from my childhood growing up in Georgia. Other scent ideas come from our amazing customers who ask if we can make a candle that smells like this or that.”

After coming up with another scent, the real work begins, as the process for creating a new candle scent can take up to a year.

“When I do come up with an idea, it usually takes up to a year to fully develop and test the scent.”

After twirling the top off of any Jack Be Nimble candle, you’ll find yourself inhaling deep and smiling as you breathe in each cozy note. Even before lighting one of these beautiful candles, Paul wants the scents to bring happiness to anyone who smells them.

“I really want the scents to bring a smile to someone’s face. I see it when people pick up a scent and smell it for the first time. Whether the smell reminds them of Christmas morning at their grandmother’s house or a relaxing day at the spa, I want them to make people happy.

With scents like Rustic, Harvest, Nutmeg & Ginger, and Georgia On My Mind, a Jack Be Nimble candle is the perfect way to bring folks together at every gathering. 

As the holiday season gears up, we couldn’t help but ask Paul some of his best entertaining tips. His answer: simplicity is key.

“I say keep it simple. You can’t have fun if you are working the entire time your guests are with you. Prep or buy your food and beverages ahead of time, light your Jack Be Nimble candles 2-3 hours before your party starts, and then relax and enjoy your family or friends.”

What’s Paul’s suggested host or hostess gift to bring along with you to every gathering this holiday season? Give a more thoughtful “Thank You” to your host(s) by choosing a Jack Be Nimble candle. 

“So many people are tired of giving a bottle of wine and are turning to unique gifts like our candles. Candles are a more personal gift and I always think including a handwritten note with the candle is a nice touch.”

Finally, as a Georgia native, Paul has had ample opportunity to explore the Peach State. His favorite Explore Georgia adventure? Visiting old houses that have a unique history to share and provide inspiration for his candles.

“I love exploring old homes whether in South Georgia, the Coast, or the Georgia mountains.  Old homes remind me of my youth and I get lots of inspiration for candles by visiting historic places or homes around the State.”

As the Georgia Crafted Peaches settle in for chilly season in Georgia, you can rest assured that we have a Jack Be Nimble candle lit to warm our homes and our hearts with every sniff.
