Include ingredient list in gift basket?

I am making a gift basket for a benefit silent auction. It will be filled with items that I canned myself. All the prep was done to FDA Guidelines. The basket will include: Mild Salsa Hot Salsa Dilly Beans Dill Pickle Spears Dill Pickle Slices Whole italian Dill Pickles Bread and Butter Pickles Sweet Pickle Relish Blueberry Jam Apple Sauce Apple Butter All of the vegetables were grown in my garden or bought from a local farmer including the spices 100% organic. Should I include and ingredient list for these items in the basket?
--------------------
Yes, but make it a low key kind of list. You are not selling these gift baskets in a store so I don't think you should have to go overboard with your list. However, I think that if you write a brief message about how you put this basket together your self out of ingrediants from your own garden and farmers markets that you could get people to bid more for your basket given the current trend favoring locally made goods. But please keep it brief! I 'd write a paragraph about how you are local person that put everything together the way you did. Then in the next paragraph do an ingrediant list.
