Happy Fall!

As you may have noticed, it’s autumn! Over the coming weeks and months,our summer fruit pies will be slowly falling off the menu as we bring back pumpkin, sweet potato and pecan. Because we are in California, we will still have some summer fruits for a while longer but don’t be surprised if you walk in and an old favorite like peach is gone.

We’ve got hot cider and hot chocolate, pear pie and more!  Look out for upcoming holiday pie tastings, too…

First Weekend of Fall!

Hey Everybody, it is a busy fall weekend. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th, we are part of Weekend Along The Farm Trails.

From 1-3 (or until we run out) we will be sampling our Apple Pecan Crumble with Salted Caramel pie and we will be having a “guess the weight of the pie” contest, where you can win a t-shirt and other Petaluma Pie related prizes.

Also, too, Sunday the 27th is the Fall Antique Faire from 8-4 right here in Downtown Petaluma. So come on down, sample some pie, have some pie for lunch and shop for antiques.

Fall!

]It sure doesn’t feel like it, but it is now fall. That’s right,Wednesday September 23 is the Autumnal Equinox. And like the summer, some of our favorite summer pie ingredients are soon departing as well. That means more apple, pear, pecan, pumpkin and more.

Hey, it’s also National Great American Pot Pie Day, so come and get some pot pie!

Petaluma’s Harvest Days

Hey Everybody! This weekend is Petaluma’s Harvest Days and there is stuff happening all over town from October 24th through the 26th. Of course, you can celebrate every day with pie at our shop, but on Saturday October 25th from noon to 3 (or until we run out), we are having our third annual Pumpkin vs. Sweet Potato blind taste test and Guess the Weight of the Pie contest, where you just might win yourself a pie! So come on down!

Things will be great when you’re downtown, everything’s waiting for you!

If you are west of here, we are doing the second to the last Occidental Farmers Market on Friday from 4 til dusk.

Friday is Pie Day October 17

Wow, it is already the middle of October! Summer is finally over. We are pretty much done with peach, except for a few hand pies, and nectarines are long gone. Rhubarb is dwindling fast, but we still have Triple Berry. That means it is time for our fall and winter pies to come out. Pies like Apple, Pear, Pecan, Pumpkin and Sweet Potato. Speaking of Sweet Potato, we will be sampling our Sweet Potato Pie for the first of our holiday pie tasting events this Saturday, October 18 from noon to three (or until we run out).

Hey! Did you know we have a new savory pie? That is right, we’ve been working on a Pulled Pork Pie for you. It is made with pork from Devil’s Gulch Ranch, caramelized onions and our own bourbon barbecue sauce. And if you haven’t tried our Veggie Empanada, that’s new, too!

Making pulled pork hand pies for you.

If you happen to be west of here, stop by  our booth at the Occidental Farmers Market for some savory and sweet pies on Friday from four to dusk. This market runs through October. Halloween is the last day.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the year 5775! Shana tovah u’metukah, Everybody! It is Rosh Hashanah and we wish you “a good and sweet new year.” If we baked bread we would make you some Challah, but it looks like you’ll have to settle for delicious sweet pies or some nice fruit.

Pomegranates, apples and honey are also great foods to eat for Rosh Hashanah

Get it while you can!

We still have summer fruits, but we are getting word that peaches and nectarines will end earlier this year and our rhubarb is in short supply. As September marches on, we will see our fruit pie selection dwindle and we will see more pumpkin, sweet potato, apple, quince, figs and pear! We are a little early for meyer lemon, though. For the moment, we still have plenty of delicious summer fruit! Hopefully we can stretch the rhubarb so everyone can get some.

Heirloom Expo 2014

Piles of Squarsh!

Hey Everybody, it’s the fourth annual National Heirloom Exposition, and it is happening up in Santa Rosa at the fairgrounds for three this week starting Tuesday September 9th. There will be speakers, animals, vegetable, exhibits and, of course, food vendors, including Petaluma Pie! It is organized by our friends over at the Seed Bank (Baker Creek Seed Company). If you are interested in food, farming, gardening, etc. you should come check it out! Tickets are $10 for a day or $25 for the whole three day event. Kids 17 and under are free! And remember, we’ll be there, so you won’t miss out on pie.

Labor Day Weekend

Hey Everybody, it’s Labor Day Weekend, and we will be laboring all weekend long, including Monday, for you!

Friday, as usual, we will be at the Occidental Farmers Market from 4 until dusk. We are still open until 9 on Friday and Saturday in the store. We expect to be busy, so if you need a particular kind of pie, please order online or call the store at 707-766-6743 (7MMM-PIE) as many people have already done.

We still have many summer fruits, like berries, rhubarb, peaches and more, with fall fruits like apples and pears coming in. It is a great time for pie!

Taste of Petaluma This Saturday

Hey Everybody, It’s the 9th Annual Taste of Petaluma this Saturday Aug. 23, 2014, 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM. This year we are once again paired with Petaluma Hills Brewery and offering a taste of our Jamaican Beef Patty, a curried meat pie made with grass fed beef.

Here is a special discount offer on tickets to sample the treats of over 60 of Petaluma’s finest chefs, food purveyors, wineries and breweries.

In other pie news, you probably have only the rest of this week to catch our
Gravenstein Apple Pie, as the season is ending quickly this year and we will be switching to Red Romes shortly. We just picked our first asian pears, so expect to see yet another taste of autumn later this week. Many of our summer fruit pies are still going strong, so even though some folks are starting school already, you can still taste summer.
