Someone new to the Stockholm Pie Company walked in last
weekend and immediately asked, “What factory makes these pies?”
Kent, our friendly pie server, pointed to his fellow servers
and said, “We are the factory that makes these pies.”
Yes, we are the “factory” that hand makes each item sold in
our little shop. Each crust is
individually stirred up and rolled out.
We don't use mixers to blend a crust; we mix it with a fork and a pastry
blender. A plain, old-fashioned rolling
pin is our tool to roll out the crust.
We hand peel and slice our apples.
We only choose fresh apples; our apples have never seen the inside of a
can. We never pour any commercial pie
fillings into our crusts. We make cream
pies with select ingredients that we mix up and cook on the stove. We never have a box of pudding/pie filling in
our kitchen. The whipped cream on our
cream pies comes from real cows, whipped up right here. All of the ingredients in our pies are real
and made by hand.
Amy's Handmade Bread for our sandwiches is stirred up and hand
kneaded in our kitchen. Amy has a
patient touch with the bread, kneading until it is just right. Imagine one of her freshly-baked 9 grain or
cheddar chive buns with our pulled pork and homemade barbecue sauce! Mmmm….
Fall brings back some our favorite things to eat – handmade
apple dumplings and pumpkin pie. Apple
dumplings will be available the second weekend in September. Have you tasted pumpkin pie made with
honey? Yum! You can order that honeyed pumpkin pie
now. The pie will appear on our menu in
October.
Yes, Stockholm Pie Company is a small shop, but every single
item on our shelves was hand made right here, all real and delicious, by our
“factory” personnel. Our goal is to have
each item worth the time and effort you take to visit our shop. Due to the popularity of our pies, we advise
you to place an order ahead of your arrival and to come early.
We'd love to see you again,
Janet Garretson and staff
