"Thanks for letting us bake with you. My boys have it on the 'official holiday traditions' list (which we cut in half this year!).

Heather C., Alameda, CA


"That is the best pecan pie I have ever had - and I've had a lot of pecan pies in my life."

Kat and Dawn, Oakland, CA


“How many years has it been? I know that I always look forward to your wonderful sweet potato pies!”

Deena P., Santa Cruz, CA


“I like all the pies, but for me the sweet potato is special.

"I always buy at least two just for myself in addition to pies for friends and family, because I can't get them the rest of the year.

"I've convinced myself it is a health food, and I don't want to hear otherwise :) It is just like eating a vegetable dish, so there.

"Of course it is all the better knowing the fine programs they go to support.”

Mark A., San Francisco, CA


"Ice cream's idea of heaven is landing on an Uhuru Pie!"

Brian H., Oakland, CA

“Our family has enjoyed Uhuru pies for several years. We’re particularly fond of the apple crumb pie.”

Doug T, St. Petersburg, FL


“I absolutely loved baking with you. My family is now demanding that I show up with Uhuru Pies next Thanksgiving. The quality just blew them away -- they couldn’t stop talking about them. I don’t know what I’ll do when I graduate – I’ll have to stay here so I can always bring them Uhuru Pies!!”

Nathan S, Eckerd College,

Dena L., Gulfport, FL


“I like to order one of each scrumptious Uhuru pie. They're a wonderful way to brighten the glow of the holiday and contribute to Uhuru's work for justice.”

Jeanne K, Cambridge, MA


"It doesn't get any better than to have Uhuru Pies on the table for Thanksgiving -- they taste divine, they make a difference, and the price is right all at the same time. That's the true spirit of the holiday!  Don't buy just one or you will regret it!!" 

Michelle P. and Andre K., Tampa, FL


“The Uhurus in St. Petersburg are best known as activists for social justice. But they show their sweet side this time of the year when they hold their annual pie sale…”

"At our veterinary hospital we have a tradition of holiday gifts for our valued partners in the community. Last holiday season we gave everyone Uhuru Pies, and we received so many enthusiastic 'Thank You's. I think everybody is hoping for Uhuru Pies again this year!"
