Fall at the Farm: Pie Throwdown

In collaboration with Love to Cook

Friday, September 27th at 6:00pm

When you think of fall, pie inevitably comes to mind!  Freckle Farm is excited to announce its first annual pie baking competition - a true Pie Throwdown.  Whether you are a seasoned baker or simply enjoy a fun culinary challenge, this is your opportunity to showcase your skills and share your favorite pie recipes.  

In an exciting collaboration, Love to Cook will provide three talented chefs to judge the Pie Throwdown.   In addition to the main competition, there will be two other categories:  Employee Favorite and People's Choice Award, where we invite our customers to try your pie and submit their votes.  In the end, one lucky contestant will earn the prestigious title of 'Best Pie in Cache Valley!'

Don't miss out on this sweet event.  Entry is free and there are prizes!  Be sure to register today because the number of entrants is limited.

All pies that participate in the Pie Throwdown will also be submitted to Freckle Farm's Harvest Festival Silent Auction on Saturday, September 28th, 12 pm - 4 pm.  All proceeds from the silent auction will go to the Cache Valley Food Bank.  Be sure to invite your friends and family to come bid on the winning pie!
