Do you like to bake? Would you like to learn?

Help us prep, mix, and bake pies for this holiday season! No experience necessary and we'll train you on the spot. You will be helping to make any one of our delicious sweet potato, vegan blackberry, pecan and chocolate pecan, pumpkin, or apple crumb pies!

Uhuru Foods & Pies is an economic institution of Black Star Industries and it is about putting the means to grow, produce and distribute fresh food into the hands of African people, as we see happening right now with the Black Power Blueprint!
