I swung by Royal Oak farmer’s market Saturday morning and grabbed a couple pies. Just ate a slice. This was my first time eating sweet potato pie in my life and I can only liken it to a religious experience. Incredible. I think the bar has been set so high I will be disappointed by any other pie moving forward, however I don’t see this as a problem as long as I can get more of Uncle Calvin’s.

Literally the best pie I've ever had. Bought 3 of the mini pies at Blake's Lavender festival this summer and I wish I bought more. Absolutely delicious!

My family and I were blessed with this pie this past weekend! The best we’ve ever had , so tasty and comforting. Plus the sweet, good people selling them were great to meet! Thank you for sharing the love with this beautiful pie.

The mini sweet potato pies are so delicious! I always buy from them when they come to the Farmer’s Market at the Capitol in Lansing.

Met Uncle Calvin at the Farmington farmer's market in fall of 2022. Bought 2 personal sweet potato pies and have been trying to find Uncle Calvin's market schedule ever since. Best sweet potato pie I've ever had! I'm not on Facebook so it's hard to see his full schedule there. Uncle Calvin, where are you? I need your more sweet potato pie!!!

Born out of her parents’ kitchen in Milford late-2012 Lisa Ludwinski has earned national recognition at Sister Pie, the story of hard-work and triumph as “blue collar” as Detroit itself though the corner lot on Kercheval Avenue remains humble even now. Built on loans, grants and friendship, plus a 24-hour dance marathon in 2015, guests entering Sister Pie will quickly note a sizable workspace filled with women, many taking time to greet patrons or offer suggestions of items tucked away on a table behind glass. Willing to take a stance on environmental issues and workers’ rights, a no-tipping policy utilized to assure equality in pay plus biodegradable packaging and composting a priority, choices change daily but always include Cookies such as the Wheat-free Buckwheat Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Golden Raisin and smoky-smooth Peanut Butter Paprika. Not forgetting a “Sandwich Cookie” that looks like two bite-sized Biscuits around Buttercream, a favorite recommended by friends who’ve taken one of Lisa’s baking classes, suffice it to say Sister Pie’s “From Another Galaxy Brownie” lives up to its name while being both gluten-free and vegan while the Strawberry Cornmeal Scone was an edible snapshot of late-Summer. Obviously not forgetting some eponymous slices, two of four available this day, Salted Maple spins Canada’s classic beautifully on an all-Butter Crust while The Banana Pete puts a mountain of Meringue and crumbled Cookies on a Banana Custard base.
