Dig In! Yancey Community Garden invites everyone to celebrate summer’s abundance at our second annual Fruit Fest on August 9, 2024 at Birdfoot and Hearth Glass Gallery.
We welcome bakers of all ages to submit a pie and test their skills against their neighbors and friends.
JOIN OUR JUDGING PANEL
Local baking experts Bonnie of La Petite Baking Company and Simone of Sweet Simone’s will be two of the judges of our pie bake-off. One member of the general public will have the opportunity to join our elite panel via an online silent auction.
PIE BAKE-OFF RULES
- Contest is open to amateur bakers of all ages. There will be two categories: Youth (17 & under) and Adult (18+).
- Pies must be made from scratch and feature a fruit. Bakers may not use store bought crust or pie filling.
- Each pie submitted must include a list of ingredients (so we can post allergens).

- The pies must be dropped off at Birdfoot between 3:00 and 4:00 PM on Friday, August 9. If you would like your pie tin back, please label the bottom of the pan.
- Pies will be judged by a 3 person panel: Bonnie of La Petite Baking Company, Dana of Crooked House Pies, and a third position will be available to the public via silent auction. The judges’ decision will be final.
