Baked goods were out of this world with taste of freshness Fruit filling was a perfect balance Crust was perfect no burnt edges Kudos for making it great

We are happy to support a women owned business that has been family owned since 1866. Also pleased that the nearby Niskayuna Co-op carries their pies year round. The pies are 100% hand made! The Co-op takes orders at Thanksgiving. I put in an order and was amazed at the large tables filled with numerous pre ordered pies waiting for pickup. They were arranged by type. They are popular! My family likes the Apple Pie with a streusel top. Strawberry Rhubarb, and the mixed berry pie from Mourningkill. They make a sugar free Fruit of the Forest Pie. I like to make my own pumpkin pies. Their pies have a tender flavorful crust that is easy to slice and does not crumble. It does not taste mass produced like some commercial or frozen pies. Their pie fillings are not runny, so they slice and serve nicely. They make 10" and 5" pies. From the website: "Mourningkill Farm and Bake Shop is a family-owned farm that has been operating since 1866, specializing in the production of apples, rhubarb, and other fresh produce used to create their delicious pies and tea breads. With a commitment to using the highest quality local ingredients, their pies are made from scratch by hand, featuring a light crust that perfectly complements the flavors of their carefully selected fruits. Since 1976, the bake shop has been dedicated to producing simple and scrumptious pies, sticking to their original recipes that have stood the test of time. Customers can expect pies and breads made fresh to order, with pie baking days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and tea bread baking day on Tuesday and/or Wednesday."

We ordered a Thanksgiving pie for the first time this year. Terrible disappointment. Crust was overcooked and not flaky, kind of soggy. The filling was loaded with cinnamon so we couldn't taste the apple. Pillsbury pre-made crust with canned filling is not the absolute best way to make a pie, but it was head and shoulders above this one we purchased from Mourningkill Farms this 2023 Thanksgiving. It was also the same size as the ones I make at home in standard pie plate, so not very large. Easy and cheap to throw one together at home which is what I will do next time I'm in a pinch. Waste of $20.

Best place ever!

The best homemade pies around!!! We have known the owners for many years and they are the most hard working family and are so humble. It is so neat how they take pride in what they do and love showing and teaching others about the processes that goes into their baked goods. The pies are actually home made unlike other places around town that claim they are but aren’t. Mourningkill pies are seriously unlike any other. They are fresh and you can just taste the fruit they pick in each pie. It is a lot of hard work they put into them and they never fall short here because they are always so delicious! Very berry and apple crumb are our favorites. We always and only get our pies here.

Call in your order. Go to the apple barn and knock on the screen door. (It's where all the magic is happening.) Get a glimpse of all the wonderful people behind the delicious pies. Receive your pie still warm for a great price. Eat and repeat the process. The best people & the best pies!!!

The real deal! 100% handmade fresh pies. Which would be a cool story even if the pies were just ok... but the pies are fantastic! Crust is the perfect texture to carry the fresh fruit, which is not too sweet. It's hard to do simple and make it excellent. These guys and gals got it down! Will be back next time I'm in the area. We picked up 9 varieties this time. Cut into the blueberry crumb and the double crust cherry so far. Both were the kind of pie where you just want more. I'll update when we try the other 7!Thank you Morningkill!We put the other seven out at a party with 20 people and they were all gone within an hour. What more do you wanna know?
Absolutely delicious apple pie. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, too! Already planning the next pie order. Thank you!!

Their pies are timeless! From the apples to the handmade crusts, your grandmother's would be jealous of their talent!! Right down the road and an easy addiction!

They make the best pies! Their made without gluten pies are by far the best GF pies I have ever had! The crust is tender and flaky and flavorful, every other GF crust I have tried tastes like cardboard! The deep fudge is my absolute favorite, it's like chocolate heaven in a pie crust! Their apples are by far the best apples I have ever eaten! Everyone is friendly and helpful! If you are in the area definitely check out their pies!
