Willcox apple pies debut in Arizona Capitol

On Thursday, Feb. 25, our state legislators will receive their very own Willcox apple pie from Apple Annie’s.

What a small world. I will be in the Arizonal Capitol that day for Animal Lobby Day through the Humane Society. I wonder if any of the legislators that I visit will offer me some pie? Doubt it.

Members of the Arizona Farm Bureau will be delivering the pies. The deliverers are all women.

Each pie will have a pie chart showing the farmer and rancher share of every dollar spent on food. The Arizona Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving and improving the Agriculture industry through member involvement in education, programs and services.

I hope the legislators share  pie with their staff.

    If I were you Karyn, I would ask each AZ legislator you visit for a “small piece of the pie”.  After all you are a taxpayer.
