We have got a BANGER of a menu waiting for you at the shop this weekend! Since we will NOT be at the farmers market this Sunday (6/14), you’ll have to swing by the shop for breakfast, perhaps taking advantage of our freezer full o’ pies and snag some for later!

Big news this week: we had the pleasure of joining on his podcast for the second time (somehow the first was nearly 5 years ago 🤯). Dan has always been such a champion of small businesses, local food, and the people behind them, and it’s always a joy to share our story with him. Grateful for a space to talk shop and share our story, tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!

We figured this occasion called for a few Dan Hoppen favorites on the menu 👇

🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookie
We’re pretty sure Dan is partially responsible for making this pie go viral years ago. It eats like the best chocolate chip cookie of your life and we honestly can’t explain it. You’ll just have to try it.

🍋 Lemon Bar
Luscious tart lemon curd tucked inside our all-butter crust and topped with buttery shortbread crisp. Bright, buttery, and exactly what summer should taste like.

🥔 Cowboy Butter Poblano Hash
Featuring our farmers market friends at ! Smoky, buttery, garlicky, herby cowboy butter folded into our hash brown casserole with roasted poblano peppers and gravy. Comfort food with a little swagger. Cheese-free!

🍳 Dan Hoppen Brekkie Cubano
A Dan-inspired special loaded with smoky pulled pork, farm-fresh scrambled eggs, cheese, mixed pickles, and a swirl of pickle-brine Dijon aioli because we simply had to. When we tell you this combo is next level, you should believe us!

Rain or shine, we’re making hand pies. 🥧 🌧️ ☀️ Find us at the shop Friday–Sunday like usual and at the Aksarben Farmers Market on Sunday.

And a heads up: we’ll be at farmers market this weekend, but not the following one on June 14!

The forecast looks a little questionable, but honestly, what’s better than a flaky hand pie and a cup of coffee on a rainy morning? Feels like the opening scene of the Midwest sitcom we’ve all agreed our shop belongs in. 😉

This week’s lineup 👇

🤎 Brown Sugar Cinnamon
The classic. Buttery, cinnamon-y, and impossible to be mad about.

🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake with Salty Pretzel Crisp
Sweet strawberry jam, creamy cheesecake, and a sweet-salty pretzel topping that turns this pie into a memory.

🥔 Cheesy Hash Brown & Dill Casserole
Hash browns, mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic, and plenty of fresh dill. A longtime favorite for good reason.

🍯 Charcuterie
Genoa salami, Shadow Brook Farm cheese, and our house honey-fennel jam. If you know, you know. If ya don’t, you oughta!

See you this weekend! 💜

Last weekend of May somehow?? Already our FIFTH farmers market of the season and honestly…it passes in the blink of an eye. As summer plans start unfolding, consider this your reminder that we’ll be here every weekend with buttery flaky hand pies, good coffee, and a cozy morning spot to hang in our backyard. Bring the fam, snag pies for a picnic at the park, a pre-pool treat, post-workout reward, or the start to a productive Saturday. ☀️🥧

Plus: Ethiopia on drip and our Nitro Cold Brew freshly restocked on tap using beans from ! Local kombucha from and other sparkling bevvies in the fridge, local honey, hot sauce, snacks and more on the shelves. 🙏

THIS WEEK’S MENU:

✨ Horchata Custard
Inspired by horchata, the classic cinnamon rice milk drink, this process starts with toasted rice infused into milk & cream, simmered with lots of cinnamon and thickened into a rich custard. The rice creates this uniquely nutty and earthy flavor that we balance out with cinnamon and sugar. A journey for the palate, indeed!

🥭 Mango Chili Lime
BACK after a couple years because y’all would not stop asking. Juicy mango simmered with sugar and tajin, folded with our tart and creamy key lime curd. It starts sweet, finishes limey, with just enough chili hanging around after each bite.

🍅 Grilled Cheese & Tomato Pie
Technically there’s plenty of cheese involved here BUT the tomatoes are really the star. Sweet caramelized onions, acidic tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, balsamic, garlic, parm & mozz all tucked into our flaky crust. We’ve been working on mastering the art of juicy tomatoes in pie and this one is it, ya’ll!!!

🍳 Sausage, Egg & Cheese
One flavor we truly can never make enough of. Featuring our in-house butchered breakfast sausage from forest-raised Idaho pasture pigs , seasoned simply with garlic, sage & white pepper, then folded with farm fresh scrambled eggs and cheese. When the ingredients are good, you really don’t have to do much.

SHOP HOURS:
Fri + Sat // 8a–12p

THIS WEEK’S HAND PIES 👇

🤎 Brown Sugar Cinnamon
Buttery brown sugar cinnamon filling wrapped in our flaky crust. Tastes like the coziest toaster pastry of your childhood in the very best way.

🍑 Peaches n Cream
Our vanilla bean custard folded with chunky peach jam. Creamy, jammy and very much giving early summer picnic pie.

🧄 Golden Garlic Hash Brown Casserole
Sometimes simple shines brightest. Cheesy hash brown potatoes folded with deeply garlic-infused butter inside golden flaky crust. Comfort food through and through.

🥓 House-Cured Pork Belly Scramble
This one’s for the books and one we’re really proud of. Our house whiskey-cured pork belly ~ sweet, herby, rich and succulent, folded with farm fresh eggs, Irish cheddar, Gruyère, and charred local spring onions that bring the whole thing to life. Honestly a journey for the palate. Limited quantity and likely available at the SHOP ONLY (NOT at farmers market) this week.

See ya this weekend for another round, pie people! 💛

🌞 PIE WEEKEND IS UPON US! 🌞

Last weekend was kind of wild in the best way ~ we completely sold out at both the shop + farmers market for the first time in a long while. Zero pies left anywhere by Sunday afternoon! 🥲

As we head into our 8th farmers market season (!!), it feels really good to see the rhythm of it all clicking into place. Lines of customers, empty bins of pies, lots of familiar smiling faces. We spent the week right back in the kitchen baking up another round for ya!

🏡 SHOP HOURS
Friday + Saturday // 8am–12pm
Sunday // 9am–12pm

🧺 AKSARBEN FARMERS MARKET
Sunday // 9am–1pm (we often sell out around noon)

🍁 Maple Taffy
A super special spin on our classic Brown Sugar Cinnamon ~ somewhere between an ooey gooey maple cream donut and a butter tart. Wisconsin maple syrup stockpiled from last season gets whipped up with brown sugar and butter that melts into a drippy little maple situation. Sweet, sticky as it cools, rich as heck.

🍓 Strawberry Rhubarb
‘Tis the season!!! Equal parts jammy strawberries and tart garden rhubarb for the ultimate spring combo. Pie that tastes like May.

🌿 Buttermilk Ranch Hash
Buttermilk ranch seasoned hash brown potatoes with loads of fresh dill, sour cream & onion, plus melty mozzarella and cream cheese all whipped together into one cozy ranchy carb bomb. Kinda tastes like your favorite chip dip turned breakfast.

🍳 Cheesy Chicken Sausage & Artichoke Scramble
Scrambled farm eggs, organic chicken breakfast sausage, marinated artichokes, cheese and a touch of basil pesto. This one feels bright and springy compared to our rich traditional sausage breakfast pies. (*pesto contains nuts)

Hope to see ya this weekend, pie people! 💛

🍄 MOREL HAND PIES TOMORROW 🍄

Every year for about 2 weeks I become mentally unavailable because I’m wandering around in the woods staring at the ground like a freak. Honestly one of the greatest joys of my life. 🥲

This was a really good season. I took Amber on her first morel hunt 🥹 and ended up stockpiling about 5 lbs total over several forest missions. Ate plenty with butter like little woodland goblins obviously, but saved the rest for a special batch of hand pies for tomorrow’s market.

Wild morels roasted in brown butter then folded into soft scrambled local eggs with parmesan and chives. That’s it. Simple. Earthy. Rich. Beauuuutiful. “Very mushroomy” according to Ariana. 🤣 Like GOLD! Umami that makes you stop talking for a second.

And no, we’re not charging extra for them. Still $9 like always because I honestly just feel lucky to stumble around outside and find food growing out of the leaves every spring lol. Always wanted to try morels? Inside a hand pie is a mighty fine time to!

Limited amount tomorrow (Sunday) at the Aksarben Farmers Market ONLY. Hot and ready to sell at 9a when the bell rings. Probably around 5 dozen available if we counted correctly. 🌲 Bring your mom and treat her to something TRULY special. 🫶🏻

It’s Mother’s Day weekend! 💐

We’ll be stocked and ready all weekend long, however you’d like to celebrate ~ picnic-in-the-park pies, a full-on brunch spread of pies, or a 6-pack o’ pies for mom’s freezer (and yours while you’re at it).

Shop hours:
Fri/Sat 8a–12p
Sun 9a–12p

👩‍🌾 You can also find us at the Aksarben Farmers Market on Sunday from 9a–1p!

We bake a lot of pies every week, and even more for this weekend, but we do still sell out of popular flavors sometimes. So if you’ve got your eye on something, come early for the best pick o’ the pies!

This weekend’s lineup:

🤎 Brown Sugar Cinnamon
One of my mom’s all-time favorites ~ our cozy spin on a classic combo.

🍑 Vanilla Peach & Blueberry Crisp
Roasted peach + blueberry jam simmered with vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of cardamom, all topped with a buttery oatmeal crisp.

🍳 Fresh Herb Scramble
A forever favorite ~ soft, creamy Briar Rose Farm eggs folded with melty cheese and a bright mix of dill, sage, and chives.

🥔 Loaded Hash Brown Casserole
Think loaded baked potato…but breakfast! Crispy smashed hash browns, smoky bacon, sharp cheddar, and chive sour cream, swirled with a roasted mushroom-onion gravy making for a deeply savory pie that screams comfort food.

Bring your mom. Borrow a mom. Be a mom. Dog mom? Cool. Plant mom? Love that for you. Future mom, stepmom, bonus mom, or proudly not-a-mom ~ we’ve got pies for all of it.

Celebrate however you want this weekend…preferably with a hand pie in hand! 🖐️💛
