Need a Last-Minute Mother's Day Gift? Think Farm Fresh

If you’re looking for something a little different or something to get the mom who has everything, consider a couple farm-friendly options.

For a $50 donation to American Farmland Trust, you can get an autographed copy of Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America’s Farmers Markets. With the donation comes a year-long membership to ATF, which includes a subscription to American Farmland magazine.

A $50 to Openlands will enable you to give mom a “Greener Gift,” to help fund community gardens in urban areas. Greener Gift recipients will get a certificate, monthly e-updates, newsletters and an annual report.

Of course, there’s always Etsy, which has some very crafty artists who can whip up beautiful aprons and kitchen accessories.

Here are a couple of my favorite vendors:

Julie Meyer makes these super cute fabric trimmed oilcloth gloves.

And for aprons, I really like perdoozy’s pinup girl aprons and, when she has them in stock, Bee Haven Maven’s Honey Bee Shop.

Finally, if you’re looking for flowers that’ll last longer than fresh cut, browse through Miranda Girl Design’s shop.
