Can I get a pie any day of the week?

Because I’m a one-gal operation, pies aren’t available every day of the week. Pies are available on Saturdays at MAGPIES (pre-order is recommended, though I always make extras for walk-ins! ), 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).

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

I like to get creative each week, and I choose a handful of pie flavors based around what I can get my hands on locally that week! Which means that a peach pie in February isn't usually possible, I'm sad to say.....

Do you take custom orders?

The short answer here is: when I can!

It all depends on: how full my baking week is, and what ingredients I'm able to nab. I always appreciate a week's notice on a custom order, and 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.

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, much of the meat, fruit whenever I can, honey, maple syrup--it all comes from a farmer I know within a few miles of Bovina!

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.....)

I heard that you sometimes deliver pies in Delaware County?

Last spring, I did a little something I called "pie it forward"--it was a way for folks to send loved ones in the area a pie to sweeten the quarantine weeks. I'm hoping to try this again sometime in the coming year--stay tuned by signing up for my newsletter!
