This week, see how you can choose local produce and support large and small local manufacturers and independent growers.We spent Passover without our families, and we still most probably have to spend Independence Day without our friends, but we can still celebrate the birth of our nation by wearing blue and white, drinking local beers and enjoying the goodness of our land.From the Galilee
While most of us can only look at photos of the beautiful spring bursting with flowers in the Galilee these days, we can still help the farmers and the producers who live there by buying directly from them. A western Galilee non-profit organization has put together gift boxes filled with boutique beers, complete with portraits of Herzl, Ben Gurion and Golda on their labels, local fresh honey, wine, handmade chocolate pralines, baked goods, nuts and even local cookbooks, and they will deliver anywhere in Israel. Prices range from NIS 135 including home delivery.

Sparkling and sweet
For Independence Day, Carmel wineries launched a special edition of Giacobazzi Lambrusco wine in a festive white bottle. The semi-dry white sparkling wine has 9% alcohol and is a real crowd pleaser. Pitty you’ll have to drink it without a crowd. NIS 25 order online from any wine and alcohol shop.
Get ready for the summer
While clothing shops are still closed, many local fashion producers and importers opened online shops – so you can still shop for a blue and white outfit or at least get a pair of flip-flops, such as those made by Havahianas, who will deliver free for any purchase from NIS 149. havaianas.co.il
