Regional Pies & Stories
This post expired on October 14, 2023.
Hello RCM Community!
We have a very cool opportunity from the McElroy House this Thursday during market time!
“In many ways food and stories are inseparable. And in this region marked by the foothills of the Ozarks, the edges of the Ouachita Mountains, and the banks in the River Valley, we really like to make pies. As part of our Pies for Pavement Fundraiser, we have been asking area pie makers to tell us the stories behind their pies. So read on to hear more about these regional pies and how these pie makers learned to make them! When you buy a pie you’ll be supporting the work of the McElroy House: Organization for Folklife, Oral History and Community Action. This “Pies for Pavement” project will help us fund our community center and green parking lot, which will serve as a working example of green design in low-income areas."
Check out the stories behind the pies here: McElroy House
You will be able to purchase the pies to help this project on Thursday October 17th (this Thursday) during market pick up time! Tell everyone you know!
This is a neat opportunity to learn about the pie makers and to try some delicious pie! We hope to see you all out in big numbers to support this cause!
As always, thank you so very much for your continued support for RCM and all that we do!
