Christmas shopping is slow going this year, but I am having fun shopping for our upcoming holiday party.
I hit the jackpot at Ultra with a bunch of “local” products to add to the munchies. Ultra is owned by a family in NW Indiana, so I’m not surprised they try hard to have local products., including honey and products from New Liberty, Ind. I picked up some Hair of the Ferret salsa, from a Crown Point, Ind., company.
Unfortunately, no Munster-based Three Floyds Beer. We had to stop by Jewel on the way to the St. Nicholaus party on Saturday to pick up a case.
And I was happy to see that Ultra sells Fair Oaks Farms cheese [Warning: if you click on the link, be ready for some mooing]. It’s not a small organic dairy, but I like it. I like how they are restoring native grasses and habitats to surround their corn fields. And I like that they use cow waste to produce methane to power more than 90 percent of their property.
I would have liked some cheese from Traders Point Creamery north of Indy, but Whole Foods only sells their yogurt…not exactly an easy holiday finger food.

You expect me to eat something called “hair of the ferret” ??? That has got to be the worst marketing I have ever heard! I think I’ll stick to the mulled cider.
