Looking for a meaningful holiday gift that goes beyond just another generic present?
Kansas holiday gift boxes (offered by the From the Land of Kansas program) deliver just that — a curated collection of Kansas‑made products that directly support local farmers and small producers.
With two themed box options, personal notes, and national shipping, these gift boxes make it easy to give authentically and impactfully.
What Is the FoRKansas Holiday Gift Box Program?
The From the Land of Kansas program is the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s trademark initiative to promote products that are grown, raised, or produced in Kansas.
During the holiday season, they offer FoRKansas holiday gift boxes featuring locally made gourmet food items from a range of Kansas-based companies.
The program emphasizes:
- Supporting Kansas agriculture and small businesses
- Highlighting the stories and flavors of the Sunflower State
- Offering an easy, high-quality gift option that also gives back
The 2025 Gift Box Options
For the 2025 holiday season, there are two main box varieties: the Ad Astra Box and the Konza Box. You can order them online, add a handwritten note, choose your shipping week, and send them anywhere in the U.S.
| Box Type | Key Features & Examples of Items |
|---|---|
| Ad Astra Box | Includes beer bread mix, steak rub, freeze-dried basil salt, honey, red wine chocolate sauce, caramel popcorn, and everything sauce — all from various Kansas producers. |
| Konza Box | Features mild & sassy dry rub, steak seasoning, medium garden salsa, maple-bacon pork snack stick, and winter jam, all made by Kansas-based small businesses. |
Pricing, Ordering & Delivery Details
- The gift boxes are priced at about $39.95 for the 2025 season.
- You can pre-order online via the From the Land of Kansas e‑store.
- For bulk or corporate orders (more than 10 boxes), you’ll need to contact their team to coordinate logistics.
- Gifts ship on a schedule: in 2025, the first available shipping week begins in mid-November, and delivery runs through early January (or while supplies last).
- To guarantee delivery by Christmas, there is a cut-off shipping week later in December, so placing your order early is advised.
Why These Gift Boxes Matter
- Support for Local Producers
Every item in the boxes comes from small-scale Kansas farms or food businesses, meaning your purchase helps real people and families. - Economic Impact
By choosing these boxes, you contribute directly to the Kansas rural economy and help sustain small artisan food producers. - Authentic and Story‑Driven Gifts
The products have real origins — whether it’s a freeze-dried herb from a family business or a handcrafted sauce from a local kitchen — making every box meaningful. - Effortless Gifting
With pre-curated items and personalization options, you don’t need to spend hours assembling something. It’s thoughtful, convenient, and rooted in local culture. - Inclusive Community Partnership
The program partners with community organizations; for example, some packaging is done by community centers or nonprofits, making it socially impactful beyond just the product.
How to Choose & Personalize
- Which box to pick? Choose the Ad Astra Box if you want a more diverse mix of sweet, savory, and snack items. Opt for the Konza Box if your recipient loves seasoning blends and hearty snack sticks.
- Personal messages: You can add a handwritten note when you order — ideal for holiday greetings, thank-you gifts, or client appreciation.
- Order strategy: For large orders, reach out early. For regular gifts, placing orders soon after launch helps secure availability and ensures delivery by the holiday deadline.
The FoRKansas holiday gift boxes represent a beautifully simple way to support Kansas farmers and local makers while giving a holiday gift that’s both thoughtful and purposeful.
By ordering one, you’re not only sharing a taste of the Sunflower State, but also helping sustain small businesses and agricultural communities across Kansas.
Whether for family, friends, or clients, these boxes offer a meaningful connection — wrapped and ready to ship. Give more than a gift this season: give Kansas itself.
