Jane Swift was the pie maker at Butternut Farm when we bought the business in 2005. We are so fortunate she decided to stay on and continue her job. During those early years she became part of our family, a steadying figure that made pies a couple of mornings a week in the farm house kitchen. Often there before we woke and eager to help a young family through it's mornings, she even filled in as grandma at one of our daughter’s school Grandparent Day. Although we lost Jane in December of 2009, she will forever be part of the Butternut Farm family.
Ever since her son Brian, was lost to cancer, Jane was director of the Brian Swift Scholarship Fund in her home town of Durham NH. We would like to honor Jane and support her effort in offering scholarship to exceptional students in that community.
One dollar for every pie sold here at Butternut Farm will forever be contributed to this fund.
