“Two Peas Cafe carries on the tradition of Flora & Ella’s famous homemade pies, as well as their original southern-style recipes. In addition to being a community staple, Two Peas Cafe is dedicated to giving back to their community.
“Deborah and Vicki recently organized a Relay for Life team to raise money for the American Cancer Society. At the LaBelle Relay for Life event this past March, the Two Peas Cafe team raised more than $20,000 and they placed second in the race!
“Deborah, Vicki, and the entire team at Two Peas Cafe demonstrate the tremendous power of determination and community involvement and serve as a great example to us all. And so I am proud to honor Two Peas Cafe as the Senate Small Business of the Week.”
