Tuxedo twist popcorn from Valparaiso-based Do Goodies will be one of the products included in the 2025 Indiana Grown Holiday Gift Box.
This year’s gift box will feature a variety of products from 10 Indiana Grown members from across the state. Indiana Grown is a statewide initiative housed within the Indiana State Department of Agriculture to highlight local products and artisan goods.
“The Indiana Grown Holiday Gift Box is the perfect gift for folks looking to send a nice piece of ‘home' to a loved one,” said Don Lamb, Indiana State Department of Agriculture director, in a press release. “Indiana Grown is such a valuable part of what we do at ISDA, and it's opportunities like this that allow our Indiana Grown members to highlight their products through a program we offer.”
Boxes will include popcorn, bison jerky, seasoning blends and sauces, caramels, pie filling, protein bars, honey and artisan soaps and candles.
“It's exciting to be entering into our third year of offering our Indiana Grown Holiday Gift Box,” Caroline Patrick, Indiana Grown director, said. “We have seen increased interest in this opportunity from our members and buyers, especially since each product is locally curated.”
In 2023, Indiana Grown sold 200 holiday boxes reaching 21 states, including Indiana. In 2024, the holiday boxes sold out in less than two weeks and were shipped to 35 states, including Indiana. The 2025 Indiana Grown Holiday Box is limited to 400 boxes.
