Chattanooga, TN – According to the state officials, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the Pick Tennessee Products program are encouraging Tennesseans to support local farms and food businesses by purchasing products grown and made in the state.

Pick Tennessee Products invites shoppers to visit local farm stores to discover unique, high-quality foods and gifts perfect for the holiday season. Shoppers are encouraged to share their purchases and promote local businesses on social media using the hashtags **#SmallBusinessSaturday** and **#PickTennesseeProducts**.

By shopping locally, customers not only invest in their communities but also support Tennessee’s family farms and small businesses. A comprehensive directory of farm stores and food businesses is available at [www.PickTNProducts.org](http://www.PickTNProducts.org), where customers can find seasonal foods, gift baskets, and even order products directly from farms.

Pick Tennessee Products is an initiative of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture that connects consumers to local farm products, wineries, and retail stores. For more updates, follow **@PickTNProducts** on Facebook and Instagram or download the Pick TN mobile app.
