Erin’s Update from Spring Break

March 2011

Erin has re-entered the bubble known as academia to pursue graduate education.  That means she has Spring Break again!  Lucky her!  While the Pittsburgh skies were still sending snowy, wet messes, Erin enjoyed some San Fran sun.  She sent pictures of one of my favorite San Fran locales:  Mission Pie!  I had a friend who worked there, so it was a must on my visit to the city several years ago.  Someday, I will attend one of the barn dances on their farm.

Here’s the Mission Pie story:  Mission Pie is a corner café, bakery, and neighborhood gathering place in the Mission District of San Francisco, located at the intersection of two busy streets and several vibrant, interwoven communities. Our seasonally shifting menu of pies, baked goods and light savory fare focuses on the produce of nearby farms that employ organic and sustainable methods. We are here every day to engage folks toward a deeper relationship with and responsibility to the environments, enterprises and people that sustain us.
