We source our fresh, seasonal produce from local farmers around New York State and New England — sugar pumpkins for our pies might come from Wilkens Fruit Farm in Yorktown Heights, and golden delicious apples for our tarts might have been grown by Outhouse Orchards in northern Westchester. Even our heavy cream comes from dairies in the picturesque Hudson Valley.

We think that keeping it local means keeping it fresh and delicious! Taste the difference for yourself by sampling one of our crisp and buttery Apple Pies, our luscious Pear Almond Cream Tart, or our sinfully creamy Pumpkin Cheesecake.
