Lovely story but the beautification is a bit off.

> Hardin Woods would bake [...] using fresh ingredients local to her home in Salem, Oregon

> She baked her first pie, a lemon meringue

> The next day Hardin Woods made a peach pie

> After that came a chocolate cream pie

Does lime, peach and chocolate ripen within the same season in Oregon? Vickie cooking for is community is already touching, this claim about freshness and locality is skimmed by people who are already convinced, spotted by those who disagree and raise critics of the skeptics.

Between "The Guardian" and it being a warm/fuzzy-type story, I'd read that as "fresh local ingredients when available".

Vs. too many pies have fillings straight out of a can.

I mean, the first pie was in California, per the text right before that. She was visiting family.
Right, the location is off too! The ingredients probably aren't sourced in Oregon after moving to California, but anyway the season ("fresh") and location ("local") point stands. I guess she use local eggs.
