LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Just in time for Mother’s Day, WDRB News is teaming up with Kentucky Proud and Kroger to spotlight locally made gifts that celebrate Kentucky farmers, artisans and small businesses.
During Monday morning’s segment, viewers will get a hands-on look at a variety of Kentucky Proud products available in Kroger stores—perfect for thoughtful, locally sourced Mother’s Day gifts.
From hand-poured soy candles to goat milk-based skincare items, the featured products are all made right here in the Commonwealth using simple, natural ingredients. The Kentucky Proud program connects consumers with goods that are grown, raised or produced by local farmers and makers, helping support small businesses across the state.
The segment will highlight clean-burning soy candles crafted in small batches, offering a variety of scents ideal for relaxation and home décor. Also featured are goat milk and tallow-based soaps, lotions and balms—products known for their moisturizing and skin-nourishing benefits.
On-air, WDRB will bring these products to life by smelling candles and trying select skincare items, giving viewers a real-time experience of their quality and appeal.
The "Made with Love. Made for Mom." campaign encourages shoppers to skip mass-produced gifts and instead choose items made with care by local hands. Many of these Kentucky Proud products can be found in the aisles of Kroger, making it easy to shop local while preparing for the holiday.
With Mother’s Day approaching, the segment serves as a reminder that meaningful gifts don’t have to travel far—they can come straight from Kentucky farms and artisans, supporting local communities while making mom feel special.
