Shop local this season with new directory
Made in Monmouth vendors offer close-to-home alternatives
“Here’s a chance to get a jump on your holiday shopping and support local businesses,” Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said. “This easy to use, online shopping guide has links to makers and sellers of all sorts of products and gift ideas that are made right here in Monmouth County.”
The interactive directory includes only Monmouth County small businesses that produce products within the County.
There is tremendous variety in the directory, everything from beautiful handmade children’s products to wine made from grapes grown and fermented in Monmouth County to art and jewelry for every budget and occasion to gourmet foods and candies.
Email addresses, phone numbers, websites, and if applicable, store locations are included to provide easy holiday shopping.
“Every vendor listed in the directory makes unique consumer products in Monmouth County,” Arnone said. “You will find something for everyone on your list—including your pets!”
The County’s Division of Economic Development released the Made in Monmouth Local Holiday Shopping Directory in advance of national Small Business Saturday which is Saturday, Nov. 28.
Made in Monmouth is a project under the Division of Economic Development’s Grow Monmouth initiative. For more information about how Grow Monmouth can help your business, go to the Grow Monmouth page at www.VisitMonmouth.com.
