A warm slice of country living!

The Kerhonkson Accord Chamber of Commerce is holding the 4th Annual Jennie Bell Pie Festival at Kelder’s Farm (home of the world’s largest garden gnome). The festival will take place Saturday September 27th at 12 noon.  The farm is located along Route 209 in Accord.

The pie festival will include a judged bake-off, a pie auction, a talent show, arts and crafts vendors, live music, hay rides and more. The event will wrap up with a spectacular fireworks display provided by a group of local merchants.

Jennie Depuy Bell (1915-2004), whose family was among the first settlers of what is now the Town of Rochester, was well known for her splendid home baked pies. Jennie often donated her time and energy to bake many pies for the Rochester Reformed Church dinners, community events, and of course, her family. Pie making looked easy when Jennie was in the kitchen, but anyone who has tried, knows that much practice and expertise is required.

Jennie Bell was also much appreciated for patiently helping others, both young and old, to master the pie making skill. One of her secrets to a good pie… serve it the same day that it is made!
