GROW Nebraska has Solution to Gift-Giving Dilemma


Holidays so often feel hectic, rushed and crowded with too much to do, so many gifts to buy and places to go. Relax, be smart and ask GROW Nebraska, a nonprofit marketing and training service for small Nebraska-based businesses, to handle the details.

We caught up with GROW’s executive director, Janelle Ehrke recently as she oversaw the packing of GROW Nebraska gift baskets in her Holbrook, NE office.

According to Ehrke, givers can pick from quality products that are grown, made, or manufactured in Nebraska, and GROW will pack the assortment in a sturdy, attractive gift box and mail it for you. The cheery GROW Nebraska elves are packing boxes many of which contain a Nebraska wine, pickled asparagus, a fudge made in Nebraska in the shape of the state, handmade beef jerky, spicy mustards, hand painted note cards, goat milk hand lotion, pure honey, maybe a summer sausage, a syrup or jelly and many other items.

Order your gift basket on line at www.buygrownebraska.com or visit a GROW Nebraska store at the Westfield Gateway mall in Lincoln, Oakview Mall in Omaha, Sunset Plaza Mall in Norfolk, From Nebraska Shop at 803 Q St. in the Haymarket in Lincoln, or their newest retail location at the Hilltop Mall in Kearney. A full listing of retail stores that are members of GROW Nebraska or that carry members’ products is available at www.grownebraska.com. Telephone toll free 866.520.3520 for a telephone order.
