Did you know...  

...coffee is not grown anywhere
in the United States
except Puerto Rico and Hawaii?    

We invite you to order our pies to go for the holidays. See a complete list of our pie selection below. (If you don't see the flavor you crave here, don't fret -- Hobie can probably make it anyway.)  

Please order your pies for the Holidays by December 14. Only apple, pumpkin, marionberry, and pecan pies can be ordered after December 14. 

You'll, of course, be able to pick up your pies the week of Christmas. Order pies in person or call 503-253-1051. (We do not accept pie orders via email.)  

Greetings!

You're busy, I'm busy, everyone's gearing up for the holidays, so I'm going to keep this one brief. With all of the hullabaloo about Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Portland, Occupy L.A., etc., I just want to remind people that the best thing you can do to rectify the inequities in the American financial system is to buy local. For every $100 you spend at a local business, $73 stays in the local economy, supporting local schools, fire departments, farmers, community projects, etc. while for every $100 you spend at a non-local business, only $43 stays in Portland.

So when you're reading about and watching Occupy protesters on TV wondering if you should be among their ranks, do what you can to Occupy Main Street and support the moms and pops that give your city character and more directly support its infrastructure.

Tomorrow night (Dec. 2), Montavilla will be kicking off its annual Four Frosty Fridays events, starting with a Lighting of the Street at 7 p.m. (See more about Four Frosty Fridays below.) Stop by for a cup of hot cocoa or warm cider beforehand -- it should be pretty cool. 

sincerely,
