Thanksgiving Pies

Thanksgiving Frequently Asked Questions

When can we start picking up pies for Thanksgiving?

You can start on Wednesday, 11/19 at the farm.

Will pies picked up early still be good on Thanksgiving day?

Yes! Our pies last at least 14 days in your refrigerator. Your pie will be perfect on Thanksgiving day!

Can we pre-order pies?

No. While we have done that in the past it requires a ton of staff to coordinate. The system we now use is to have EVERY SINGLE VARIETY available starting the 19th so that you can just come pick up what you want. We will have all the different varieties fresh baked in stock from the 19th to Thanksgiving day. You can simply just come by and get what you need anytime.

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

Eggnog Buttermilk

How many pies total will you be making for Thanksgiving?

2500 - 3000 pies

Will you be doing gluten free, sugar free, or vegan pies this year?

No. Sadly we won’t have time this year to focus on those super niche pies. On any given year they only make up .05% of sales so we are focusing on getting what the vast majority are looking for.

Will you be holding any special events for Thanksgiving pies?

Yes! Friday Nov 21 we are holding the Ahwatukee Thanksgiving Pie Market! 1-6pm at 3930 E Chandler blvd (40th st and Chandler blvd), Phoenix

Saturday Nov 22 is the Uptown Thanksgiving Pie Market! At the Uptown Farmers Market from 8am-1pm - address 5757 N. Central Ave, Phoenix (Bethany Home & Central)

Wednesday Nov 26 is the Thanksgiving pie market at the farm from 8am-9pm

Is the farm open on Thanksgiving day?

Yes! The farm will be open normal hours on Thanksgiving day and will have pie for all you procrastinators. The bistro will be closed so that our cook staff can spend it with family.

How much staff does it take to make all those pies?

A bunch! Everything we do is by hand so it takes a ton of loving hands and organization to make it happen. For the 14 days before Thanksgiving we are usually employing 2 shifts and around 25 total people to make all the different operations happen.

Do you still like making all these pies? Sounds like a lot of stress!

Yes! It’s very gratifying to sit down and give thanks to our creator on Thanksgiving Day knowing that we have made so many other families day special.
