Pearson Farm Walks the Red Carpet

Pearson Farm Walks the Red Carpet

Last week, Pearson Farm attended the Taste of Southern event a few miles south of the farm, in Perry.  We were privileged to be in the company of many great restaurants and caterers, along with 800 of our closest friends. 

We served our Buttermilk Pecan Pie and just as expected, the response was overwhelming.   The night was truly festive... all the attendees were dressed in lovely holiday attire, the room was elegantly decorated for Christmas, and each vendor creatively dressed up their booth with twinkle lights, poinsettias, and other holiday adornments.   I was honored to share the booth with 3 of the most amazing women: Maria (Mary's Kitchen's head baker), Carmelita, and Silda (or as we lovingly refer to them, The Sisters).  These ladies spend countless hours inside Mary's Kitchen roasting, mixing, stirring, coating, and baking delicious flavored pecans, crunchy pecan cookies, sweet peach preserves, yummy peach and pecan cakes, along with this delicious Buttermilk Pecan Pie.  They rarely meet our customers face to face, so it was exciting to have them help greet the attendees and serve this wonderfully delicious pie that they had created. As delightful as the event was, the real beauty was found in the eyes of these 3 wonderful ladies.  Only a handful of our Pearson Farm "FAMILY"  have the opportunity to speak with customers, so to witness these ladies interacting with the guests and hearing the compliments and accolades bestowed upon them was truly magical.  It was such a blessing to see them having their "Red Carpet" moment and shining like the true stars they are!
