Two Distinct Bakeries – One Exceptional Business

Rose McGee’s Sweet Potato Comfort Pie® story continues to warm the hearts of people across the Nation.

When she was a little girl, Rose would tag along with her great-grandmother up and down the rural roads of Jackson, Tennessee to visit sick or elderly neighbors, but never empty handed – her Mom’ Allie always had a freshly baked sweet potato pie.

Twenty years later and with a family of her own, Rose suddenly had a desire to make a sweet potato pie, so she phoned her grandmother and namesake, Mama Rosie, who coached her through the process. It would be another thirty years before Rose would come face to face with knowing that this pie, the sacred dessert of Black culture, was calling her to bake with a purpose. Responding to the call, and experiencing the power of the sweet potato pie, she has now led hundreds of volunteers in baking thousands of pies that have been distributed in numerous communities left scared by horrific acts of racial violence and injustices across the country.

Today, Rose is an internationally-recognized leader for peace and justice by keeping her eyes on the pies. The Sweet Potato Comfort Pie® you have purchased can be a gift to someone or an organization to whom you would like to extend gratitude, care, and welcome, or simply share with your own family and friends.

Nancy the Editor of Foodservice News says “Rose, we are still talking about your pie around here. Everyone said it was the best pie they’ve ever tasted (not the best sweet potato pie, but PIE).
We’re all making plans to move to Rush City so we can have them daily! John, your staff did a great job duplicating a masterpiece. “
