Swap the traditional Irish breakfast for something a little more green—and lean—with this superfood-packed shakshuka Made with four types of greens (Brussels sprouts this dish will power your day until it’s time for happy hour and a green beer then creamed peas will be right up your alley and the four-ingredient recipe goes from prep to plate in 15 minutes Baileys poured over vanilla ice cream is a classic combo on the most Irish day of the year but if you’re sticking with the green theme a batch of homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream is visually much more on theme Our award-winning ice cream recipe is so wonderfully smooth that it may ruin the idea of store-bought forever Although popcorn isn’t a traditional St anything can be befitting of the occasion when tinged green All you need are a few drops of green food coloring and some pantry staples to make an emerald coating for these cute kernels St. Patrick’s Day is synonymous with soups like beer cheese and Irish potato leek but we love this bright green cream of asparagus soup for a warming starter course that pairs well with a crusty loaf of bread and a dollop of creme fraiche These cheeky leprechaun cookies are the perfect St. Patrick’s Day party favor if you happen to be hosting a soiree on March 17th you can even use shamrock sprinkles on the hat and gold sprinkles for buttons A mainstay in traditional Vietnamese cuisine Plus their leafy lettuce cups fit the bill as far as green foods go swap out the pork for tofu and stay away from the fish sauce Fans of the retro grasshopper cocktail will undoubtedly love the dessert version: grasshopper pie It’s not nearly as complicated to make as it looks A premade chocolate-crumb crust and store-bought chocolate-covered mint cookies save you a ton of time in the kitchen Any leftovers can be popped back in the freezer for up to a week Green goddess anything would be a welcome addition to a St but this green-flecked spud side is an especially worthy choice given the motherland’s favorite vegetable: potatoes One bite of this crouton-studded spinach casserole will have you questioning why you haven’t been adding the crunchy garnish to creamed spinach dishes all along Condensed cream of mushroom soup also sneaks another layer of extra-rich fungi flavor If you like the idea of colcannon but prefer rice and pasta over mashed potatoes spinach and asparagus amp up the nutrients while freshly grated Parmesan keeps things extra cheesy Picky eaters (AKA kids) can be somewhat prickly about Irish foods Offer them something a little more on their level like corn with broccoli They’re still getting their green veggies in and if you really need to win bonus points these may look like green Jell-O squares with a graham cracker crust but the base is actually a crumbly blend of biscuit mix crushed walnuts and brown sugar for an even sweeter surprise Layered with cream cheese frosting and pistachio pudding this is one delicious dessert no one can resist like finely chopped mango and jalapenos or habanero peppers Switch things up with a baby kale salad starter dressed in a zippy avo-lime vinaigrette depending on what veggies you have on hand Paddy’s mocktail that will steal the show These leprechaun lime sippers combine refrigerated citrus punch lime sherbet and lemon-lime soda for a make-ahead thirst quencher that’s easy and refreshing spicy jalapeno pepper bits and herbaceous cilantro leaves and this super fluffy version is no-holds-barred the best—and uses a reduced-fat graham cracker crust no less Sugar-free lime gelatin and frozen fat-free whipped topping are also employed to keep things light without skimping on taste Amandine is a French cooking term that essentially means something has been cooked or topped with almonds as is the case with these green beans tossed in a nutty brown butter sauce and you’ll be making everything from veggies to fish dishes amandine make them feel included with juicy green meatballs that replace the meat with silky zucchini strands Sweet strawberries and peppery arugula are the ultimate salad combo especially when paired with tangy garlic-and-herb feta cheese We also love this big bowl of greens with slivered almonds or pine nuts try a green pistachio pudding pie in a toasted coconut crust white chocolate shavings or even more coconut it’s a homemade hit that always delivers smiles all around Say what you will about jiggly Jell-O desserts, but they’re making a big comeback—and we’re so here for it. While some old-school Jell-O recipes are better left in the past creamy texture and plenty of citrus flavor thanks to lime-flavored gelatin and sherbet Candy bark is the quintessential holiday treat and you can customize it with different colors Grated lime zest and food coloring turn these beautiful bars green for St while the shredded coconut and crunchy almonds add texture and sweetness Even if you don’t plan on serving lamb on March 17th a fragrant mint sauce adds aromatic flavors to roasted pork You only need a few fridge and pantry staples to create this sauce and you can spoon it on top of all kinds of dishes Word to the wise: Be sure to double or triple this festive recipe because these chocolate cookies with creamy peppermint frosting will go quickly it only takes seven or eight minutes to crisp up in the oven and then it’s only a matter of frosting from there For those who prefer to start their day with a green smoothie in lieu of a green beer consider this nutrient-packed green juice full of antioxidants like ginger and turmeric It has a dash of cayenne to kickstart your metabolism first thing in the morning and this one ranks right up there with the best of them—especially for a day devoted to all things green This spinach souffle is one of those dishes that looks impressive but is really easy to execute it’s full of iron and delicious flavor Green-colored sugar adds a sparkly touch to these sweet treats Asparagus season usually begins around late February, making March 17th the prime time for green asparagus recipes Although there’s nothing better than simply roasted stalks with a little salted butter you could add a sprinkle of cheese or toasted pine nuts to enhance the flavor of this perennial vegetable These creme de menthe cupcakes are so dreamy Cupcakes this pretty should be showcased more than once a year In addition to pistachio and lime, keep an eye on matcha for its wonderful possibilities as far as green drinks and foods go resulting in a healthy snack option for St Part salad, part side, this well-balanced dish combines tart cranberries, toothsome orzo and spinach leaves in a citrus dressing with capers and crumbly feta. Pair it with grilled chicken or fish Bonus points for sneaking in some extra greens and vitamins at the same time Patrick’s Day may mean shamrocks and shenanigans but let’s not forget it’s three days away from the start of spring Celebrate with a seasonal asparagus tart that pairs earthy sweet stalks with fontina cheese and puff pastry in a tasty and tangy dish Looking for a delicious main course that doesn’t involve boiled brisket? Give this chimichurri steak a try. The bright chimichurri sauce lightens up the meat and the steak juices infuse the herbaceous sauce with smoky I’ll find any excuse I can to eat noodles for every holiday Espagueti verde—a Mexican-inspired recipe that trades tomatoes for poblanos and Parmesan for Cotija—works for March 17th as well as nights you’re craving a creamy bowl of pasta that hits different Just in case you need one more excuse to add creamed spinach to your St This recipe combines three cheeses and uses frozen spinach for the simplest preparation All you do is stir everything together in a saucepan until blended and voilà: creamed spinach with cream cheese Green food coloring, peppermint extract and green sprinkles turn this simple sugar cookie recipe into a shamrock confection fit for St Although we love the adorable shamrock shape and look of these you could also make a few four-leaf clover cookies with a different cutter and mix them in with the rest for a fun surprise for your guests This salsa is incredibly versatile—and incredibly green a condiment for a taco bar or drizzled over steak and chicken it instantly elevates everything it touches limeade and sugar together in a bowl until blended you could even add a little vodka or white rum Just be sure to use a clear spirit to keep the gorgeous green color I never met a St. Patrick’s Day cupcake I didn’t like, but these extra sparkly sweets get an A+ for flair. To mix up your cupcake decorating try making clouds out of marshmallows and attaching them with a strip of colorful candy to make a rainbow but also jalapeno and cilantro for two more sources of color Mint chocolate chip ice cream is sure to be a hit as well If you’re headed out to a St. Patrick’s Day party, you’ll want to prepare a make-ahead potluck dish that also transports in the car easily A big bowl of green goddess potato salad would be the perfect choice since many Irish recipes are potato-based and making the spud salad a day ahead is ideal for maximum flavor Pistachio cookies can be transported in a simple resealable plastic bag and a fluffy key lime pie can be wrapped loosely and held in your lap We are no longer supporting IE (Internet Explorer) as we strive to provide site experiences for browsers that support new web standards and security practices We recommend our users to update the browser Please enter your email and we'll send you a new password request code Please complete your profile to unlock commenting and other important features A welcome sign to Saint-Tite next to a gold cowboy statue Right: Someone points at the road sign for Saint-Pie You're on a road trip in Quebec and the next exit advertises "Saint-Louis-du-Ha Ha!" which sounds like it's either the funniest place in the province or part of the Joker's origin story While you should definitely pull over to snap a pic with the excessively exclamatory road sign you should also know the story behind the name And it's not the only quirky Quebec locale on the map A quick look at Google Maps shows many other towns with mystifying monikers here are a few standouts (along with the reasons behind them): The La Tuque coat of arms features a pointy winter cap Ville de La Tuque | Facebook If Canada is America's hat, then La Tuque is Quebec's… well was named in the early 1820s for a pointy mountain peak that some say resembles a kind of knitted cap worn in winter Since then, the term "tuque" has been adopted across Canada to describe cold-weather headwear featuring a tassel or pom-pom.

They also went on to name other geographic sites, like Lac Ha! Ha!, Petit lac Ha! Ha! and Baie des Ha! Ha!

It actually pre-dates the Quiet Revolution when the province still suckled at the church's teat and named many places after holy figures — in this case Leather is a major export of the area, north of Trois-Rivières, which attracted the annual Festival Western St-Tite back in the 60s.

Dining Sweetie Pie’s one of the city’s most iconic soul food restaurants is planning a return at a brand-new location Back in May 2023, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Sweetie Pie’s founder Robbie Montgomery was working on opening Sweetie Pie’s 2nd Act near the corner of Kingshighway and Dr Martin Luther King Drive in Kingsway East (pictured at right) Montgomery told SLM that the project was in its infancy She anticipated investing nearly $4 million to bring the vision to life Louis Dining In and Dining Out newsletters to stay up-to-date on the local restaurant and culinary scene Then, this November, The St. Louis American confirmed that Montgomery had purchased a vacant building in the 4900 block of MLK Drive Part of the revival was slated to be supported by a $1.5 million grant from the City of St funded through federal pandemic relief aimed at boosting North Side businesses and nonprofits Louis American reports that the building itself has a rich history—it was a movie theater in the 1920s Montgomery’s plans go beyond the restaurant incorporating an event space next door (pictured below) and additional commercial and residential projects She’s also secured options on vacant lots in the surrounding area hoping to attract other entrepreneurs to join revitalization efforts “Coming Soon” signs for Sweetie Pie’s were spotted on the two buildings While there’s no confirmed opening date yet Montgomery shared via text that she’s working hard to make it happen Montgomery’s career effectively began while she was living in the Pruitt-Igoe housing projects and co-founded a singing group called the Rhythmettes a key component of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue during the 1960s performing as a dancer and background vocalist for legendary artists such as the Rolling Stones A collapsed lung forced Montgomery to leave the stage she opened the flagship Sweetie Pie’s soul-food restaurant in Dellwood later adding locations in The Grove and the Grand Center Arts District with Sweetie Pie’s Upper Crust on Delmar Montgomery and her family gained national fame through their reality series, Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s, which aired on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network. The show became OWN’s most popular series, running for nine seasons, from 2011–2018. In 2022, the Upper Crust location closed, following the conviction of Montgomery’s son, Tim Norman, for orchestrating the murder of his nephew to collect a fraudulent life insurance payout. Norman was sentenced to life in prison, and Montgomery announced the closure of the restaurant in September 2022 shortly after the verdict. Despite these challenges, Montgomery remains determined to rebuild. “These are my stomping grounds,” she told The St. Louis American. “This is where I lived, and I’m gonna do whatever I have to do. I’ll sell chicken on the corner if I have to, but I’m gonna make this work!” Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here DINING NEWSLETTERS Subscribe to the St. Louis Dining In and Dining Out newsletters to stay up-to-date on the local restaurant and culinary scene.

But suddenly, in January 2010, things picked up—a lot. “We started experiencing athletes coming in on a daily basis as they cycled through our area,” Lomenick said. “None of us were aware of Ironman until they told us they were preparing for the race in May of 2010.” The Veyo Pie Shop had to increase their production to keep up with the steady flow of sweaty, spandex-clad customers coming through the shop each day. “It became an adrenaline rush for all of us,” Lomenick said. “It absolutely, 100% greatly affected our business. The athletes blogged and posted on their social media about us locally and internationally, and that catapulted our business worldwide.” A post shared by Kristi & Ashley (@sweat4sweets) Even when the full Ironman was shortened to a 70.3 in 2013 athletes still made the pilgrimage up the Gunlock climb to the Veyo Pie Shop Helmet-clad triathletes from around the world clop-clopped into the shop in their bike cleats for the sweet treat they had heard so much about and the bakery staff learned the preferences of their mid-ride customers “All of the athletes that come through our shop have such varied tastes so our goal is to keep up with a variety of flavors to make them happy when they stop in and cookies are the favorite things to grab and go For those who choose not to eat solids while they’re riding we usually see them at some point afterwards getting a whole pie to share with friends and family.” The return of the full Ironman St. George in 2022—this time as a world championship race—has brought in a new surge of athletes and the bakery staff is mixing up a near-continuous stream of flour the shop will set up a cheering station for athletes with loud speakers and a curated music playlist for the riders to hear as they ride by During times when business is slow on race day It’s the very least they can do to reciprocate the support they’ve gotten from triathletes over the years it’s always been Ironman first,” Lomenick said “Our appreciation and admiration for the athletes who endure such a competition and customers who pass by and love what we do is what keeps us going.” RELATED: What Spectators Need to Know About the Ironman St. George World Championship Course Can’t get enough Ironman World Championship coverage?

I also tried the "Smore’s Flakie" and the "Boom Chika" savory pie so I was pleasantly surprised at the bang for my buck. The pie shop itself is small and was busy upon my arrival with the line stretching in front of the seating area It made the seating area difficult to reach the shop had an open atmosphere and was very inviting The mini pies I tried were delicious but very sweet and definitely meant for no more than two people. already had returning customers on its second day as many were either interested in trying a savory pie or just something different said they were hoping to take advantage of the growing population of Southern Utah and would be able to cater at events in town “I think we have there's a really nice, diverse population base here too, in terms of ages," Timmons said, noting that people both young and old seemed to be either visiting or moving to the St. George area. It was recently named the fastest-growing metro area in the U.S "We thought it'd be a great place to get not only try out our brand but also get exposure for the brand,” he added Timmons and his wife are also expanding right next door with ROCTACO a street taco-style option that brings in flavors like Argentinian steak and carne asada The COVID-19 pandemic may have played a role in the growing popularity of the pie shop due to the need for food options that were not meant to share Having individual pies allowed for customers to still order while not having multiple people touch the same product “We thought it would be great to let everybody have their own flavor choice and so if you come here with your family everybody gets their own pie and everybody can have something like a kid can have an apple and somebody else can have lime," he said was worth the visit with reasonably priced items and a variety of flavors George Boulevard makes it a central location and easy to get to To learn more about Flake Pie Co.

it destroyed their muvero proceeded in the storage room and invaded the maize flour the school noted an increase in water of Sebeya they advised that those who were sleeping on the ground floor move on the first floor they left their belongings in their place and Sebeya invaded them Our Dear Books that we shall never see anymore because we thought that the rain would even reach us at the upper floor,” said Muhayimana Aimé Serge a Senior six student at Saint Pie X Seminary the leadership of the Diocese moved the students at Centre Pastorale a guest house on the hilltop that was not affected by the floods They stayed there and afforded a meal at around 4PM The students remained there until May 7 when they were relocated to Saint Fidele a school with some classrooms in Gisenyi town which accepted to host them momentarily as the officials work hard to clean the school and bring them back It was hard to clear that pick up off the mud the students managed to return to school with quite new books We all wrote on page one of a new book today,” said Muhayimana who is actually concerned about the national exams without notebooks but we don’t know how we shall manage since our books have been carried by water.” a part from losing all his books to Sebeya he also lost his national ID in the floods The mattress from the Minor Seminary Saint Pie carried by the flood and this was acceptable “because so many uniforms were carried away by the floods.” We were wondering where rescue would come from,” Mugisha Hirwa Bruno a Senior 3 student said also sharing a concern about his books the school was quick to inform parents who came to assist them on Sunday May 7 and to bring the basic equipment that they need Some other schools suffered a lot and they include the Nyundo Art School neighbours and all the community of Nyundo diocese gathered at the Minor Seminary and the Diocese Service Complex to clear the mud which made a huge stock in the compound reason why it became bitter against us,” joked one nun during this community work other affected people are also cursing Sebeya while proposing a solution that would allow them a peaceful cohabitation Ncamubandi Frederic from Kabirizi cell in Rugerero sector also lost his properties in Sebeya “All the buildings collapsed in front of our eyes I lost a piggery of ten animals and a poultry of 25 birds A graduate of Geography at University of Rwanda so that it does not overflow and shed its waters in the neighborhoods it can be given at least one-meter high wall This would be a long lasting solution against our bad neighbour Sebeya,” Ncamubandi said Father Emmanuel Hakizayezu(L) saw the tragedy which befell his diocese’s facilities Ndamubandi said that the river should not trigger decision to relocate the citizens along its shores Instead of relocating the traumatised community you would rather control the river,” he said “Kinshasa and Congo Brazzaville are two cities in between River Congo and damages of the river are not many Inside the flood damaged school library of Petit Séminaire de Nyundo in #Rubavu district Students were evacuated to Saint Fidèle in Gisenyi town after the entire school was submerged by water Devastating! pic.twitter.com/mPMIdDx5Cq — Richard Kwizera (@Muzungu4) May 8, 2023 State and federal funding continues trickling in for St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport’s (PIE) much-anticipated terminal expansion which has nearly doubled in cost over the past year the project’s estimated price range is now between $180 million and $220 million Airport officials announced a $110 million initiative in January 2024 County Commissioners approved a $1.98 million grant agreement amendment Tuesday with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) The additional money for an ongoing design phase increases the agency’s total award to $7.98 million “We are doing several things because we’ve had a 142% increase in growth in 11 years,” said Yvette Aehle deputy director of finance and administration for PIE we are still trying to figure out how much all of that is going to cost us.” Pete-Clearwater International Airport’s (PIE) terminal project The county-owned airport served less than a million passengers in 2013 That number increased to a record-setting 2.49 million in fiscal year 2023 An FDOT report that same year found that PIE generated a $3.4 billion economic impact and supported 21,000 local jobs. In April 2024, Tom Jewsbury told commissioners that the “lean and mean” operation remains debt-free He also noted that PIE continues punching above its weight. The mid-sized facility atypically featured 64 direct flights at the time while the significantly larger Tampa International Airport (TPA) offered 82 Jewsbury said PIE had $17 million “in the bank” for a $40 million 1,000-space parking garage and will use rental car revenues to offset the remaining cost Officials previously considered expanding a surface lot Commissioner Chris Scherer questioned the airport’s progress Tuesday The initial improvements project still lacks a contractor and the airport will begin schematic designs by 2026 “As we are allowed to apply for money A previous rendering of the terminal expansion PIE has already received $6 million from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and now has nearly $8 million from FDOT which brings the total accumulated for the design phase to $23.03 million Documents state that officials have also applied for a $4.9 million FAA grant The airport’s share of that grant is $546,106 The documents note that PIE continues requesting additional funding for terminal improvements as it is still “early in the design process and will not have a final guaranteed maximum price until the summer of 2026.” However costs at similar-sized airports typically range from $1,200 to $2,200 per square foot which indicates a total of $180 million to $220 million Aehle noted a “definite” need to enhance and consolidate a security screening checkpoint PIE will also provide jet bridges so “people won’t have to stand out in the rain during the summertime to board aircraft.” Aehle said officials will enlarge gate areas and install charging stations County Administrator Barry Burton elaborated that new jetways which will directly connect the terminal to planes and eliminate the need to walk outside and up ramps to board Documents state the FDOT grant would cover consultant and design fees A site plan highlights a “future apron edge taxiway C.” Jewsbury previously said concession revenue was up 32% through April 2024 Car rental services provide about $4.5 million annually Commission Chair Brian Scott noted that 15 million people visited the county in 2023 and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) discussed offering a tourism-focused shuttle from PIE to the beaches Jewsbury said it would help accommodate expected exponential growth and could integrate into plans for a new parking garage That service, dubbed the Grouper on-demand shuttle service in late February “We are thrilled to introduce this new transit service stress-free connection between PIE and world-famous Clearwater Beach,” Scott said in a prepared statement and ensures travelers can experience our beautiful beaches with greater ease and convenience.” HOW TO KEEP THE COSTS MANAGEABLE WITH SUCH PROJECTS IS ALWAYS A CONCERN Add your idea below.

After shutting down its last location in September 2022 the restaurant will make its return to the Midwestern city According to documents posted for a city board meeting fans of the business can also expect a 160-seat dining area and two event spaces from it Montgomery announced the closing of her Upper Crust location in September shortly after the verdict was announced. “Thank you all so much for the many years of support ❤️,” she wrote in a caption with a picture detailing the restaurant closing. the restaurant had three branches located in St that location closed on March 20 of this year due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The news of the new restaurant initially came from St which shared it on their Facebook page on May 18 Robbie gave us permission to announce that she’s opening up another restaurant again in our city!!!” they wrote St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) officials have secured funding to complete a $110 million terminal expansion they expect to accommodate one million new passengers said recent state and federal grants would allow the airport to complete the momentous project without incurring debt He shared the news with Pinellas County Commissioners at an April 4 work session Jewsbury said PIE also decided to build a $40 million, 1,000-space parking garage rather than expanding a surface lot He said the airport has $17 million “in the bank” for the project and will use rental car revenues to offset the remaining cost “All good news to share with you as far as the direction that airport is going in the course of the next five to 10 years,” Jewsbury said “We’re very blessed that we’ve seen a lot of positive growth.” A 2023 Florida Department of Transportation report found that PIE generated a $3.4 billion economic impact and supports nearly 21,000 local jobs Jewsbury said officials run a “lean and mean” operation that remains debt-free He noted that PIE now offers 64 direct flights Allegiant Airlines is the airport’s primary carrier and the fourth largest in Tampa Bay Jewsbury said the focus is now accommodating recent growth He said PIE recorded under a million passengers 11 years ago and set a new record with 2.49 million last year “One thing you have to remember … because everything is nonstop the mechanics – everybody lives in their community,” Jewsbury explained picking up the flight and flying out,” he added “They’re actually contributing to this area.” Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport Allegiant is acquiring a fleet of Boeing 737s this year and Jewsbury said PIE would be among the first to receive the new planes Jewsbury said concession revenue is up 32% in 2024 Rental car services provide $4.5 million annually “There’s more that happens outside just the terminal and runways,” he said Commissioner Brian Scott noted that 15 million people visited the county last year and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) has discussed offering a tourism-focused shuttle service based at PIE He asked if the facility could accommodate the increased traffic and airport officials have discussed incorporating the service into their plans for a new parking garage “We’re definitely interested in seeing that,” he said The airfield encompasses about half of the facility’s 22,000 acres Several businesses also lease the county-owned land Jewsbury said airport officials continue working to develop vacant parcels a lack of infrastructure and a propensity for flooding have impeded those efforts MarineMax proposed building a $38 million manufacturing facility at the airport’s nine-acre Turtle Club property in December 2022 Jewsbury said the company realized the project was not financially viable due to infrastructure costs and “floodplain issues.” He said airport officials continue exploring other opportunities with Pinellas County Economic Development’s leadership The vacant 130-acre Airco property is “another thing that developers have their eye on,” Jewsbury added Recent studies have shown that only 80 acres are developable due to flooding and stormwater challenges Jewsbury said infrastructure improvements – including roadways septic and stormwater piping and elevating the land by two-and-a-half feet – would cost around $30 million He said PIE is now “scaling things back” and focusing on aviation uses While the Live Local Act allows developers to create affordable and workforce housing on airport property Jewsbury said the Federal Aviation Administration has ruled that the land is incompatible with residential development due to noise impacts “The developers – they want to develop it tomorrow,” Jewsbury added “We’re certainly building towards that but there’s a lot of challenges …” If we could get some direct flights to ATL from PIE I don’t think we need double amount of planes low flying over our house I can’t even imagine another million people a year This small airport was has been so smooth to navigate Have a feeling things are gonna get a bit bit more complicated with this expansion I am concerned though that Allegiant is buying those Boeings We know about all the cutting corners that Boeing has done Another example of the superior circumstances of Pinellas County Wish they had direct flights to Puerto Rico BQN Local success fuels architectural firm’s Dubai expansion Mayor discusses Albert Whitted Airport’s future The handmade pie and Wisconsin cheese specialty shop will have one remaining location. The Cheese & Pie Mongers in St. Peter will close Jan. 1, business owners Liberty Warren and Timothy Harbo announced. The second Cheese & Pie Mongers shop will remain open year-round around 25 minutes southwest at the couple's apple orchard, Welsh Heritage Farms in Lake Crystal. The husband-and-wife duo took over the orchard business from Harbo's parents nine years ago, around the same time they launched the Cheese & Pie Mongers shop in St. Peter. The second shop, at the apple orchard, opened in 2021. "It’s been a great experience watching the orchard and the pie shop grow and expand over the years, and we are making the change to close the Saint Peter store in order to put all our focus and energy at the other location," Warren told Bring Me The News. "It’s definitely a change, but it will allow us to continue to grow and expand our business." In an announcement on Facebook, Warren said they've been stretched thin operating two storefronts. Additionally, the orchard location along Highway 60 offers better parking and more capacity for the business to grow. "We have simply outgrown our space in St. Peter and with the apple orchard and pie shop growing, we need to direct our time, energy, and resources to that location," she wrote. As the business begins a new chapter, the Cheese and Pie Mongers at Welsh Heritage Farms will be open year-round, all gift cards will be accepted and pies offered in St. Peter will remain available.
