This guy had a birthday yesterday!! We celebrated by seeing friends and family and enjoying lots of cake and some delicious tacos for dinner! He runs our kitchen, handles inventory, stocks up the shop, runs the last minute “oops”, handles the dishes and trash, deals with our tech headaches, he’s the in-house handy man, he’s mastered wrangling Franklin & Mimi, and gets to spend his free time with me- always with a smile! 😂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY! We couldn’t do it without you! Thank you for all you do for the business and our life. Looking forward to this next trip around the sun!

This morning we hammered out lots of options for the shop! Pop in and find your favorite meal and grab a piece of birthday cake on us! We are rocking from 11-6!

Happy Wednesday y’all!! Quick note to let y’all know we will be CLOSED this Thursday & Friday (March 12th & 13th). This is Spring Break week for UGA - so our amazing employees (often referred to as our “kids/children”) are all over the world making the best memories! We can’t do it without them! They are such a HUGE part of how we get our day to day completed, and we miss them dearly! Jeremy and I will be taking a couple of days to ourselves to reset and relax before we start back to normal next week!! We’ve loaded down the coolers with lots of great options for you to fill your fridge! We will be open today from 11-6! Swing by and grab whatever you’d like! Place an online order and use the drive through or stop in and share a smile!

Y’all. Icky weather is on the way. I’m praying for a BUST and cold rain for this one. It could get super gross. Worried about meals? Don’t be! Come on by and load up so you have food for the weekend! We have soups galore! And so many sides and entrees!! Y’all bought us out yesterday- so we came in early and hammered out lots more for today! We are open until 6:00! Order online and stay dry in the drive through or come in and browse!

**We have a few new items-
*Cinnamon Rolls, both Nutella and Standard that are AH-MAZING! Check for them in our freezer!
*Wildflour Sourdough dinner rolls & mini loafs!! Pair this with a brick of our WIsconsin cheese for the best grilled cheese ever! Pair it with a soup and you’re all set!!
*Sunday Chicken Casserole- think poppyseed chicken without the poppyseeds, more flavor and ritz crackers. DELISH!
*Italian Meats/Jams/Crackers/Mustards and more to pair with our cheese spreads and brick cheese!
*General Tsos chicken- lightly fried white chunks of chicken meat smothered in a sweet and spicy sauce! YUM!

*Due to the crazy weather to come - we will not be replenishing for tomorrow as we’ve have unloaded our inventory in our kitchen to prepared items! When we are out- we are out!!

Happy New Year!!
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable time ringing in the new year of 2026! We had the chance to reminisce on 2025 and the amazing connections we’ve made, customers we’ve met, folks we’ve served, occasions we’ve been a part of and growth we’ve felt. And it’s all because of you guys. Our people are our core. We can always feed you to fill our cup. We are so grateful for the love and support of everyone who touches Picnic Basket. From our rounds of Employees (We love & miss y’all!), customers, vendors, contractors and friends and family- all of you. 8 years ago we knew we had a dream and a pen and a prayer. We didn’t know that we would have more support from everyone we’ve encountered, than we could have ever dreamed of. We jumped and P**F. Magic happed with a lot of hard work, dedication and understanding. And here we are. Thank you all for the love and belief in us - not only in 2025- but everyday since we opened. We are very excited to unfold the next chapter of our business and continue to learn and grow to meet the needs of our people in 2026. We look forward growing more with y’all each year!! Thank you for believing in us and everything we bring to your table. Cheers!

Jen & Jeremy

PS- 2026 is gonna ROCK!

Goooo Dawgs!!
