We are only offering pickup on Tuesday this year! After four years of spending Thanksgiving week in a delirious, near-hallucinatory, buttery whirlwind, I am ready for a year where I can be more fully present with my family. With Wednesday off, I can actually be part of making the meal with my loved ones this year (in theory…maybe I’ll just rest!). I’m thinking that, hopefully, those of you who usually come on Wednesday will find it just as convenient (maybe more!) to pickup a day earlier, and that the later time slot will also make it easier for people who may be driving through traffic from Oak Ridge, Maryville, etc. — thank you so much for understanding!
Please also stay tuned for an opportunity to help us connect pies to those in our community who might need them! Last year, you all donated funds that allowed us to give away over 20 pies to folks who would not have otherwise been able to purchase one, and it was truly humbling to see. I’m working on a more efficient system for this year, and will announce that in the coming weeks.
