Pennsylvania Farm Show blue ribbon whoopie pie RECIPE!

Bakers from around the state competed in the first-ever Pennsylvania's Greatest Whoopie Pie Contest. Altogether there were 41 entries in the contest sponsored by Good Foods Inc. of Honey Brook. whoopie pies originated in Pennsylvania, where Amish women baked them and put them in farmers' or schoolchildrens' lunches. Those who found them in their lunch pails would shout, "Whoopie!"

Depends on the person... The guy that would like two dozen a week pays me 5 bucks for them.. Brenda pays 3 bucks per one dozen... 

With feed costs and everything else 5 bux is what is fair to make a small profit
We don't get the feed for what these big layer houses do

I dont make a profit but it helps pay for the feed.. but also, I am of an old school thought, all my birds get my left overs and kitchen scraps.. lowers the bill a little.
