The holidays are a magical time in Pickaway County, filled with warmth, community spirit, and opportunities to support the small businesses that make this area unique. Among these local treasures is The Rustic Harvest, L.L.C., a charming store located at 10363 Tarlton Rd. in Circleville. Owned by Jessi Sabine, this shop embodies the heart of small-town enterprise with its array of locally sourced products and dedication to giving back.

At The Rustic Harvest, holiday shoppers will find something special for everyone on their list. From local freezer meats, honey, and syrup to fresh baked goods, Amish delicacies, and even milk from nearby creameries, the store is a celebration of Pickaway County’s finest. For the season, they’re offering a festive deal: buy a $25 gift card and receive an extra $5 gift card for free—a perfect gift or a way to treat yourself while shopping.

The holidays are about more than just products; they’re about the experiences that create lasting memories. The Rustic Harvest participates in the beloved Country Shop Hop and hosts a festive Christmas Open House in December, where locals and visitors alike can soak in the holiday spirit while supporting community businesses. Jessi reflects fondly on being part of her customers’ holiday traditions, saying, “My customers are now friends, and I truly love to see them smile.”

Shopping at places like The Rustic Harvest has a ripple effect throughout Pickaway County. By choosing local, you’re not only supporting small business owners but also helping them give back to the community. Jessi’s store, for example, supports over 40 local artisans and small businesses. Beyond retail, she contributes to organizations like Blessings in a Backpack, The Community Cupboards of Pickaway County, and The Covering, as well as local schools and sports teams.

Pickaway County’s tourism and travel scene flourishes in tandem with its small businesses. Visitors drawn to events like the Country Shop Hop or a relaxing weekend exploring local stores can discover the charm of the area while making meaningful connections with business owners who pour their hearts into their work. These experiences enrich tourism by creating a sense of place and fostering community pride.
