Don’t stop with Small Business Saturday! 

Have you taken our Shop Small Challenge to heart this holiday season? Celebrate your efforts by entering to win our #ShopSmall Contest.

Join our efforts and ‘purchase with a purpose’ by using your holiday shopping dollars to invest in the agricultural backbone of Haywood County.   Support of local agripreneurs keeps farms viable and preserves access to local products while protecting farmland and the rural character of the region.

What is the #ShopSmall contest all about?

Support Buy Haywood’s Uniquely Local partners at area farms, markets, specialty retailers, farm-to-table restaurants, event venues, local preservation partners and Christmas tree farms.

Each time you shop small, leave a post on our Facebook page telling us the Uniquely Local partner you supported and automatically get entered to win!  It is that simple…  The more you shop, the more you post, the greater your chances of winning!

And the prize is…

Three hand thrown teal/oatmeal stoneware nesting bowls from our Uniquely Local – Artisan Produced partners at Hemphill Pottery ($85 value).  Pottery is fired to Cone 6
