“With our mission focusing on local producers/products, we encourage bakers to use local ingredients,” Marchetti said. “For each local ingredient used, the pie will be awarded three additional points. However, local ingredients are not a prerequisite. Also, in preparation for our pie contest, we’ve been offering tips, recipes and inspiration on Facebook and our blog. “

Not a baker? You can still participate as a judge. The pies will be judged by FarmFest attendees.
