10 Things To Love About Tennessee

March 06, 2017

Tennessee, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!

1. You’re truly the volunteer state and that means when your neighbors are in need, you roll up your sleeves, dig deep, and give big. Like when we rebuilt Nashville after the flood.  Or supported those who lost cabins in Gatlinburg during the wildfires.  

2. You are home to a people that still know how to say “please”, “thank you”, “how are you”, “bless your heart”, and “y’all come back, now”. 

3. You brought the world GooGoo Clusters, Moonpies, Cotton Candy, and Jack Daniels, among other amazing things.

4. You’re the Music capital of the world. Nashville and Memphis in the same state? We’ve got blues, country, gospel and more.

5. You give us an escape to the Smoky Mountains, hikes to waterfalls, big city lights, and windy backroads to small towns.

6. You know how to do bbq, biscuits, and hot chicken right!

7. There are four seasons even if Spring and Autumn are never long enough.

8. Income. Tax.

9. Football or Hockey? We’ve got both! 

10. You host the Banana Pudding Festival, RC Moonpie Festival, Mule Day, Memphis in May, Bonaroo, CMA Music Festival, and more fun events. 

We believe that Tennessee is home to the best people, places, and things.  We love the creative spirit that Tennesseans have cultivated and are so impressed with the items made in our home state that we wanted to make it simple to find these great products and have them shipped right to your door or sent as a gift to someone else.  

So even if you can’t make it to a local Tennessee storefront or farmer’s market, you’ll be able to get the best products made in Tennessee all in one accessible site. 

We’ll be adding more products along the way and welcome your feedback, suggestions, and comments.  We would love to hear what some of your favorite Tennessee made products are and why you love them so much.  Share with us in the comments below.
