Do you carry finish-in-the-bag or take-and-bake pies?

Yes—Elegant Farmer’s “Finish-in-the-Bag” pies are available (Apple, Caramel Apple, and seasonal options). They include easy instructions to finish at home for a just-baked aroma and crisp crust.

How many people does a 9-inch pie serve?

A standard 9-inch pie serves 6–8 slices depending on portion size. For larger gatherings, consider ordering multiple pies or adding a dessert sampler or cookie tray.

Can I freeze leftovers or buy ahead?

Most pies and many desserts freeze well. Cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw under refrigeration, then bring to room temperature before serving.

Do you offer smaller desserts for two?

Yes—look for 6-inch partner pies (select varieties), individual cheesecake slices, lava cakes, and our cherry or apple slices—perfect for smaller celebrations.

Serving & Pairing Tips

To get the most out of your dessert, we recommend removing it from the refrigerator about an hour before serving to let it come to room temperature. For pies, a quick warm-up in the oven can enhance the flaky crust. All of our desserts pair beautifully with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream, available in our dairy and frozen aisles.
