Thanksgiving is a season of gratitude, but it is also an important season for the small makers whose products become part of the gifts exchanged around the table.
We use Fortune Favors pecans throughout the year, but they appear in many of our fall and holiday boxes. They are easy to share, beautifully packaged, and familiar enough for a group gift while still feeling special.
Fortune Favors is a Madison-based company founded in 2018 by chef Eric Rupert. Its candied pecans are made in small batches here in Wisconsin.
When a company chooses a JNJ holiday gift, that order can travel through several small businesses before reaching the recipient. One gift thanks the person receiving it while creating meaningful business for the makers behind it.
If supporting American small businesses is important to your company, tell me when we begin planning your holiday gifts.
