Can I get a pie any day of the week?

As a small, hyper-seasonal/local business, pies aren’t available every day of the week. Pies are available on Fridays & Saturdays at MAGPIES (pre-order is recommended, though I always make extras for walk-ins!). Fresh pies hit the farm stand outside the shop whenever we have them available—there’s an honor box for cash—and a Venmo option—for your conveience—but those are catch-as-catch can! You can also nab pies every Wednesday at the Delhi Farmer’s Market mid May-October, at at a few shops in the area: Kitchen Cheetah in Margaretville, Good Cheap Food in Delhi, Good Grocer in Roxbury, Hamden General in Hamden, and Main Street Farm in Livingston Manor (fresh pies are delivered to retailers every Friday morning), and on Fridays 12-3 at Montgomery Place Orchards in Red Hook, NY July-Thanksgiving.

Can I get a peach pie any week of the year?

I let the seasons and what is freshest dictate my menus. Two or three seasonal flavors are on our menu at a time, and that menu changes week to week. You can always expect some kind of local fruit pie, as well as a creamy/custardy pie made with local eggs and dairy!

Do you take custom orders?

The short answer here is: when I can!

June, July, and August are too busy for custom orders—but try me in the fall, winter, or spring, and I just may have the capacity! A week’s notice is always appreciated for a custom order—you are welcome to reach out to me here with questions or requests! Head to the CATERING tab to start a conversation about weddings and other large events.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Here at Magpies, I am a big believer in leaning into the old-school art of pie-making (i.e. LOTS of butter and flour). I always try my best to get creative around dietary restrictions--but it's best to contact me with special requests. There is gluten, nuts of all kinds, and dairy in my bakery—so legally, I can’t ever guarantee that anything is “nut-free” for example.

Where do you get your ingredients?

I try to get everything very locally. The Catskills are teeming with growers and producers, and I take great pride in forming these relationships with my neighbors who nourish us all! Dairy, fruit, much of the meat, eggs, honey, maple syrup--it all comes from a farmer I know within 50 miles of the bakery!

Do you ship pies?

Unfortunately, it is crazy expensive to ship pies, and the delicate (and drippy!) nature of the pies I bake makes it too risky for them to get bonked around the back of a FedEx truck. (And the good news is, if you really get desperate, The Catskills are a pretty darn dreamy place to visit.....) But I sure hope to figure shipping out one day!
