Planet Garden Hoorah for the Pumpkin Pie!

Hoorah for the Pumpkin Pie!
　
Bluebird Market is a local venue to encourage you to start your own business. Have you ever heard the story of Sister Schubert? In 1989, Patricia Barnes, called Sister as a child, baked 20 pans of rolls for a fundraiser in Troy, Al. Using her grandmother’s recipe she dipped a Parker House syle yeast roll in butter and sold out. Two years later she turned one of the Sunday School rooms into a dough rising proof with a space heater and by 1993 she was using her father’s furniture warehouse for a cottage bakery. She is quoted saying, “I tried to be a Truett Cathy kind of employer” and has written a book entitled “Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters.” Eleven years after she started selling yeast rolls at the local Episcopal Church, she sold her busines to T. Marzetti for more than $40 million dollars.
