Hundreds of pies, stacks of orders, busy delivery lists — these marked the hustle of Agriscience students wrapping up their annual Lyman Orchards sale, one of the program\u2019s most anticipated traditions. This year\u2019s event, which brought in a wide range of frozen pies and cookie dough from the well-known Middlefield bakery, not only satisfied Trumbull\u2019s sweet tooth but once again highlighted the organization, teamwork, and community spirit that define the Agriscience experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students from across grade levels helped take orders, sort deliveries, and distribute pies to families, teachers, and local supporters. While the items arrive frozen, the work behind the scenes is anything but simple; students spend weeks preparing order forms, sorting boxes, delivering pies, coordinating pickups, and checking orders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pie sale is an important tradition for Ag because it teaches students to work with others, stay organized, and handle money,\u201d said junior Sara Renda. \u201cStudents are motivated to get involved in their community and are able to fundraise for our program at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Renda added that this year\u2019s sale also offered unexpected moments of connection. \u201cThis year I learned how the pie sale connects people. I reached out to family members I hadn\u2019t spoken to in a while and it was great to catch up with them. The pie sale supports the Ag program, families, and the community as a whole\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many students agreed that the sale not only strengthens the program but also engages the broader community. \u201cThe pie sale benefits the Ag program by uniting students to fundraise for events throughout the year,\u201d Renda said. \u201cThe sale also benefits the community by letting family members get involved in student life.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For others, the highlight of the tradition comes on delivery day. \u201cMy favorite part was when the shipment of pies and cookie dough came in,\u201d said junior Taylor Engelman. \u201cLyman Orchards always has the yummiest stuff, and I love making the chocolate chip cookies for my family!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Engelman described the sale as welcoming and meaningful for anyone who participates. \u201cIt\u2019s an easy way to give back to the Ag community – raising funds for essential activities while receiving some yummy desserts in exchange.\u201d Renda said that the sale brings students together, and Engelman that it gives them a fun way to support the Agriscience community.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the last boxes were delivered and families stocked their freezers for the holidays, the Agriscience community wrapped up another successful year of this beloved tradition, a tradition that continues to blend organization, service, and seasonal sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n
