Arkansas Made Gift Ideas at The Good Earth

 

Did you know that we have a 5,000 square foot Gift Shop, filled with all kinds of lovely gifts, including many locally made items?  Check these out!

 

 

We have pottery from several different local artists, including our own Landscape Planning and Construction team member, Chad! The mugs and bowls pictured above are his; each one is unique, making for a very special gift.

 

 

Over the past 20 years, Cary Collins Designs has grown from a dream to an inspiring business.  Read more about Cary’s journey here! Each year, we stock her calendars and refills, both of which are very popular gifts. Each month, enjoy unique artwork and a scripture.  She also has a variety of note cards and writing pads.  The bright colors and uplifting messages are so sweet!

 

And speaking of sweet…local honey! Guenther Apiary honey is especially delicious so consider grabbing some for yourself as well!  We love the honey, and of course, the creamed honey, which is available in a variety of flavors, including Strawberry and Blueberry. We are very excited to stock their beeswax candles now too!

 

We would like to introduce you to our newest local artisan, Richard Zimmer, a self taught woodworker. He has been woodworking since his teens. Each piece is handcrafted from native or reclaimed wood, including walnut, cherry, maple, honey locust and cedar.  His goal is to introduce people to quality craftsmanship.

 

 

One of our past co-workers, Kristine, has some of her crafted goods, called Kindred Kreations in our gift shop too! This ornament is a team favorite and we also have a selection of fun wooden jewelry.

These works of art from chainsaw artist Jarrod Flowers are amazing!  And yes, he is a local artist who grew up going to school just down the road.  Each sculpture is delightfully detailed and beautifully stained.

As you can see, The Good Earth Gift Shop has many locally made gifts for your loved ones.  We also promote self- gifting; treat yourself, you deserve it!

And if you just aren’t sure what to get someone, a Good Earth gift card is a great choice!  Stop by to purchase one or if you don’t live nearby and you would like one for someone who does, give us a call.  We can mail one out, just have a mailing address handy when you call!
