Also known as "make-do" pies, desperation pies were made with any ingredients a farm cook had on hand or could scrounge up at a moment's notice.
"Desperation pie is a pie that you made when you had nothing left to make it with,"

These pies show the ingenuity and creativity of the human spirit in times of struggle. A struggle thats a long way from todays perpetual harvest. We are living through a time of a fantastical, nature- defying system harnessed by a minutely tuned, just-in-time electronic ordering network.

We wince at our clean eating shopping baskets and we attempt to shrink ourselves into gym clothes. Beckoned by the ritualistic beats emanating from glass temples of fitness we stand shoulder to mouth in yoga classes. Seeking to discover our true real physical in the now selves.

Desperate times call for desperation pies.
