Here’s a great opportunity for your group to raise money for student field trips, sports team equipment, etc., by selling our pies and desserts at your profit! It has usually proven to be quite successful!!

Generally, you decide what frozen pies and desserts you would like to offer to your parents, clients,etc.  We offer those items at a discout to you.  You offer these items at whatever mark-up you choose.  You allow 2-3 weeks to get your orders.  We need minimum 2 weeks to fill your order before meeting your delivery requirement.  The holidays are a favorite time to approach this-everyone needs pies for the holidays and they can bake their own when they need them!!Your group will make $2-$3 per item—The more you sell the more you make!!  For more info call 530-644-6881 and we will send you more information

How it works: You call us to confirm your project and date (near the holidays work well!). Then we send you a list of pies and desserts that are appropriate for your project. Generally you can mark up our items $2.00 or more to your purchasers, so imagine your group’s fund raising potential! We deliver in the greater Sacramento area, or we’ll work with you on a drop-off location.

Note: We must be notified approximately 2-3 weeks before delivery can occur, and all orders must be paid  on delivery. (Add-ons to your order are accepted within 2 days of delivery.) Also note: Your designated pick-up person(s) must pick up orders within 1-2 hours of delivery or you will need freezer space!
