There have been requests for a Shop Local Holiday Gift Guide. We’d LOVE to create one… especially after seeing how amazing the Farm Stand Guide turned out.

So- we’re running our Small Business Saturday Sale early– we need to give the Small Businesses a chance to get in our guide!

Here’s what we’re looking for:

Restaurants (bars, grills, cafes, etc) — We need to know where we can get food 24/7 — we use the whole clock over here. And we have some dietary restraints so we want you all! We also have winter birthdays…. we need you!

Farm Stand Guide – We know that many of you keep running all year round – so we want to keep shopping all year round. We also know that some poultry slow down, and some don’t. This way we can keep supporting our local egg producers. We don’t want to forget our baked goods providers either. Anyone thinking about Deer Camp yet? We also still have some gaps in the guide. I don’t have any pasteurized-only milk, honey, or maple syrup, yet. Did you see my Flu article? I really need to find local honey! We’re also looking for Christmas Tree Farms, Wagon Rides, and MORE! What else are we missing? Can you fill the gap?

Businesses: This pretty much includes everyone! Direct Sales, Mobile Services, Home Services, Vehicle services, (repairs, detailing, sales, etc), (we did mention that we will soon have a new driver here too, right?); Shopping, Gathering, Rentals (buildings, chairs, tents, etc), Gift ideas, and so much more. If you sell it, we want to help people find it. We have winter birthdays here — and a few only days before Christmas — so we need options!

We are waiving the guide fee for the rest of 2026. Use Coupon Code Flash2026 to get 25% off our annual fees. Flexible payment plans are still available and so is the referral program. But you need to hurry! The code expires November 13th.

Businesses and Shoppers: You can find the Sign Up and Guides here: https://ruralnewfamilies.com/business-directory/
