greenes-fine-foods

Need last-minute nibbles alongside your Thanksgiving spread? How about tasty handmade stocking stuffers? Or an unexpected – and always appreciated – edible hostess gift? Far-away relatives who need their gifts shipped? You definitely need to check out Greene’s Fine Foods.

Share a taste of the Peach – or should we say Pecan? – State! Greene’s Georgia-grown pecans are always fresh and succulent. Enjoy them on their own, with a little salt, dipped in high-quality chocolate (dark or milk), or dressed up with inventive spice and seasoning blends. Choose from their beautifully pre-packaged varieties or stop in and fill a tin with just your favorites for a completely customized mix.

While you’re there, indulge in chocolate-dipped-everythings, house-made gummies and candies, fudge, hand-dipped caramel apples, and more. You can even fill a growler from their rotating tap of locally brewed beers!

Tip: Shop toys, cards, and other festive items, too! Look for Terrific Thursdays deals and tastings in December.
