Rolling Pepperoni is a social enterprise bakery selling pepperoni rolls, feeding hungry folks and connecting the Appalachian culture. The mission of Rolling Pepperoni is to unite urban and rural communities by breaking bread across communities within the Appalachian region, from Maine to Georgia. I'm Katt Schuler. I grew up in Elkins, WV and started Rolling Pepperoni after finishing college in Pittsburgh because I love pepperoni rolls as an energizing snack. Even more than that, I love relating with people over the shared Appalachian culture that created these treats. I am raising money for industrial baking equipment, the costs of moving RP into its own bakery and wages for additional staff!
The pepperoni roll was chosen because it originates from West Virginia - the only state entirely within Appalachia, the site of the first American coal mine as well as my childhood home. In addition to selling wholesome pepperoni rolls and artisanal variations of the classic recipe, were on a mission to shed light on the Appalachian regions diverse culture, people and their stories in order to unite communities across mountains and find commonalities in our shared issues and triumphs.
