Lush Yummies Pie Company is built on family traditions and family recipes. We make some of the best “Lemon Butta” pies filled with rich and creamy sweet-melted butter, cascading with fresh squeezed lemon juice, and warm cinnamon and sugar. We're close to having our pies on the shelves of 15 stores and counting and we are already a regular vendor at Eastern Market every Saturday but, we have one small problem. On average we squeeze 200 lemons by hand per week for our pies. This means that we spend 8 hours a week squeezing lemons which slows down our production enabling us to meet our demands. We need a JBT commercial juicer which not only squeezes our lemons but it even peels them prior to squeezing! This would save us 6 hours of prep and production time,  and in return we have more time to make more pies!

Hi! I'm Jennifer and I've spent the last 4 years planning on how I could use my talents from Howard University and Culinary school in combination with my family’s recipes. After folks taste my “Lemon Butta” Pie, they usually say “these taste just like the pies that my mother used to make”. Its like the pies ignite a spark that is full of memories and love, I want to be able to continue to share this feeling throughout the city of Detroit.
