Sneak Peek
August Box (Summer Seasonal Box)
Our August box is all about Summer! Peach butter, from locally grown, organic peaches, is perfect to spread on warm biscuits (recipe included). The heirloom pepper salt is great to sprinkle on fresh vegetables, straight from the garden. Chamomile bitters add a distinctive and delicious flavor to your cocktails. The natural poison ivy salve helps stop the itch and heals. Mountain mint tea is refreshing iced. Share the love of music and dance with our greeting card.
Order by September 28th to get this box!
Questions
Q: I love the idea behind this. Do you ever have items from the Blue Ridge part of Virginia and neighboring areas? I’m thinking Hillsville, Galax, Bassett, Martinsville, etc. Thank you!Asked by Renee K., September 2020
Thanks for your questions. We do have products from that area. Our flax linen dishtowels are made in Cana, we have bitters from Lynchburg, and grass fed beef sticks from Independence.
Q: I received this as a gift 3 month subscription. August should be my last box. If I wanted to extend the subscription on my own, when should I subscribe so I dont ger duplicates or miss a box?Asked by Nicole M., August 2020
Hi Nicole
Thanks for your question. I'm really glad you are enjoying the subscription enough to want to extend it on your own.
If you place your order any time after August 30th on Cratejoy you will not get a duplicate. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Enjoy!

I love subsc boxes but stopped them because literally nothing was made in USA. Imagine my joy when I found this box AND I live in Charleston, WV so this is my Appalachian heritage. Why did I not know about this before?? Loved my first box and will support JQ Dickson as long as I can!

I really liked this box! I wasn;t too sure when I ordered it as I am not A country type of woman but this box really surprised me! I received a nice sized bag of very good coffee, a yummy goat;s milk chocolate bar, a jar of truly delicious SEEDLESS raspberry jam ( You Appalachians make really good jam! ) Also nice were the 4 shower fizzies in different colors and fragrances.
The only item I could not use was the machine carved tree. It was just too plain. I gave it to my sister who has a talent for crafts. She painted it green, and adorned it with a glitter paint that looks like glistening snow and painted little round balls on it as ornaments. The tree now graces here mantle above her fireplace. I will continue my subscription and see what comes next!
