Pennsylvania Pumpkin Pie from Pie Bird Farm
IF YOU’RE BUSY PLANNING YOUR HOLIDAY FEASTS and feeling overwhelmed by the idea of baking your own, may we recommend the Pennsylvania Pumpkin Pie from Pie Bird Farm? This pie is a wonderful collaboration between local farmers and bakers in Bucks County. The ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, both for location and for the growing practices of the farm.
Pie Bird’s wife-and-husband team, Jennifer Brodsky and Eric Theesfeld, believe pie is a communal food, a simple joy made to be shared. They also prioritize supporting local farms to keep farmers farming and earning enough to make investments in growing in ecologically sound ways that promote soil, water, climate, and human health.
Their Pennsylvania Pumpkin Pie is made from locally sourced ingredients, including flour grown in PA and certified organically milled by Small Valley Milling; 100 percent grass-fed butter from PA, made by Dutch Meadows Farm; winter squash and ginger from their own farm and other small producers in Bucks County; organic cream from Seven Stars farm; and organic sugar and spices from one of their neighbors.
