Celebrity chef Carla Hall uses her voice – and love for food – to help fight Alzheimer’s disease

During the month of June, The Fresh Market will donate 10% of the purchase price of Hall’s Sweet Heritage Butter Tart sold between June 1–30 to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

Chef, author and TV personality Carla Hall is using her voice – and love for food – to make a meaningful impact in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease in honor of her beloved grandmother, Freddie Mai Price Glover.

Hall’s granny had a larger-than-life personality, but the thing that she remembers most vividly about her is her food — it was always prepared with love. Hall’s inspiration for cooking comes from her granny who brought the family together through her food. Ironically, it was changes to Granny’s cooking that first signaled something was wrong with her memory. Soon after, she found out she had Alzheimer’s.

In her honor, Hall is an outspoken Celebrity Champion for the Alzheimer’s Association. She speaks out by sharing her story to raise Alzheimer’s awareness, break down the stigma surrounding the disease and generate greater public support for the cause.

To mark Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, The Fresh Market will donate 10% of the purchase price of Carla Hall’s Sweet Heritage Butter Tart sold between June 1–30 to the Alzheimer’s Association. These delectable tarts are available in Apple, Cherry, Peach, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Fruits of the Orchard and feature a buttery oat crust with a hint of almond, a nod to the flavoring Carla’s grandmother loved.  

This is a delicious way to make a difference! The partnership will run in all The Fresh Market’s locations in 22 states throughout the month of June. Find your local The Fresh Market store here.
