Holiday Shopping Made Easy
Take the hassle out of holiday shopping by ordering holiday food and gifts from North Farm. Wonderful holiday treats will be delivered along with your regular order through November and December. Our buyers have made a special effort this year to bring on just the right natural products our members want—and in the right quantity.
Gifts To Enhance The Mind, Body & Spirit
As the holidays approach, you may be looking for natural gifts to fill everyone’s stockings. North Farm has brought on over 40 natural products just for the season and many more items suitable for gift-giving are available year ‘round.
From delicious Lindt Chocolates to soothing Sumeru Bath and Body Oils, Sun Dog Natural Body Care and Sage Spirit Dream Pillows, we’ve got something for everyone. Many come with discounts available in both November and December.For a lasting, extra-impressive gift, choose the solid maple chopping block from Michigan Maple Block Company which we offer along with twelve 8-oz blocks of North Farm cheese. It will be well-used and enjoyed this holiday season and for many years to come. For a simple, inexpensive gift a block or two or North Farm cheese and a box or two of crackers would be perfect.

Our “Tofurky” and two “Unturkeys” will please both the vegetarians and nonvegetarians at your table. Include Knudsen Cranberry Sauce and Olives from Santa Barbara to add the extra touch that makes your friends and family feel really special.

While North Farm recovers our financial footing, we have a suggestion for dealing with lingering out-of-stocks. Check our Web site for On Hand Quantity; if we have only a few items in stock you may want to choose another more plentiful product from our catalog. The Incoming Shipments field tells you the anticipated date of arrival and quantity for new shipments. Products scheduled to arrive less than one week before your delivery date should are not likely to be received in time for your order to be picked.

TRIM CHEESE The Cheddar Cheese (#995) shown in the example is one of our newest products from Organic Valley and offers an exceptional value. Trim Ends are the uneven pieces trimmed off to form the perfect blocks usually seen in retail cheese displays. It is prime quality cheese, but the packaging is less attractive. At a savings of over 20%, we believe this is the sort of value you want us to find for you.
