This Independence Day, Georgia pecans are breaking free from their traditional pie confines. The Georgia Pecan Growers Association has partnered with local ice cream maker YOM to create a unique butterscotch pecan push pop.

Mary Bruorton, executive director of the association, said, “This partnership will expand our presence in specialty retail stores across Atlanta.”

To celebrate, free push pops will be distributed at various locations around the city from July 3-7.

Sampling events include Grant Park Market, B Side in Decatur, Candler Market, Peachtree Road Farmers Market, Piedmont Park Green Market, and Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Here is the schedule

YOM co-founder William McLane stated, “Our slogan is ‘Skip the pie. Push the pop.’ We think ice cream lovers will have fun celebrating July 4th with these new push pops.”
