MILTON —
Plans for the Second Annual New Hampshire Pie Festival at the New Hampshire Farm Museum on October 3rd from noon to 4pm are well underway and it is looking like a great event! Below is an outline:
The Amateur Piemaking Contest is open to nonprofessional piemakers. Prizes include a custom pie plate from Salmon Falls Stoneware and baking items from King Arthur Flour. The judges this year are NH humorist Rebecca Rule, author of Live Free and Eat Pie; portsmouthnh.com blogger Eryn EpiCurious, food critic and restaurant judge for NH Magazine; and self-proclaimed dessert connoisseur Gary Reynolds, producer at WMUR who admits he is always hungry.
The Professional Piemakers Contest is open to professional bakers. Enter your signature pie and win the People’s Choice Award! Attendees to the festival will taste-test your creation and vote for their favorite pie in two categories: fruit and nonfruit.
For guidelines to either contest, email the museum at info@farmmuseum.org and state in the subject line which contest guidelines you are requesting. Or call 652-7840.
Festivities for the day include the ever-popular kids’ pie eating contest, a silent auction of cooking-related items, tractor hay rides to visit the museum farm animals, guided tours of the historic Jones Farm and tavern, and much more.
The tents will be up so the Great New Hampshire Pie Festival happens rain or shine. Admission is $10 for adults; $5 for children. Sponsors include Salmon Falls Stoneware, Dover; Independent Color Press, Ossipee; and King Arthur Flour, Norwich, Vermont.
All the pie you can eat—how can you go wrong?
The New Hampshire Farm Museum is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the preservation of New Hampshire’s agricultural heritage. The Museum is located at 1305 White Mountain Highway, Milton, NH 03852.
