MONDAY 11/17: Last Chance for a New Roots Pecan Pie
The New Roots Youth Garden is now running their annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale Fundraiser. As in past years, the group is using local ingredients to make absolutely delicious pies, created in the kitchen of Amy B Catering with Chef Amy Brandt at the helm, so you know they are yummy!
With the combination of neighbors donating pecans from their trees, local farmers donating sweet potatoes, and incredible volunteers assisting the chef, these pies are full of a lot more than good taste — they are made with the love of a community to help make a difference in a child’s life.
Support New Roots Youth Garden’s annual pie sale by placing your order for a Mocha Pecan Pie or a Sweet Potato Cheesecake Pie at www.nryg.webs.com/pie-orders. 100% of the proceeds from this sale go to supporting the programs and operations of the New Roots Youth Garden. If you want to help the Garden but will not be in town to get the pie, don’t worry- we will deliver it to a needy family for you! Please, place your order today – the order deadline to order pies is Monday, November 17. [Read more…]
