Hickory Farms Giveaway & Review

 If you've read past reviews you will see that Hickory Farms hold a special place in my families heart, remembering traditions with loved ones past and sharing a new tradition with our children. Hickory Farms reminds me of home & family "familiar and heartwarming."
My family got to sample the Party Planner Gift Box from Hickory Farms this year and I was eager to try the turkey summer sausage. We have never tried it before, you know you get in the habit of one thing and sometimes don't try something different. Well I'm so glad we did because it had superb sweetness in taste and I love it. One thing you will immediately notice with Hickory Farms meats, they are fresh, you can see and taste it. You can expect the best cheese blends imaginable and Cranberry Mustard is out of this world good!!
