All You Need to Know About Pie.

Maybe you're like me and had pie growing up during the holidays. I have a large family, and there was always at least two pies at our celebrations. It was a great tradition.

But one day in college, my professor brought in a few pies for the class. That was the day I found out that not all pies are created equal. Once I tasted a Gardner pie, there was no going back to the basic, store-bought pies my family used to get.

It quickly became my mission to bring pie to every family function. Gardner pies are made with real fruit and quality ingredients, and you can taste the love in every bite. I’m especially obsessed with the Strawberry Lemonade Pie—bright, fresh, and just the right balance of sweet and tart. I’m so glad I attended class that day and found them when I did. Now I just want everyone else to experience the good stuff too.

Pie Versatility

You might think pie is only about the traditional fruit flavors—apple, cherry, blueberry, pumpkin—and only meant for Christmas or Thanksgiving. But let me change your mind.

Pies are incredibly versatile. They can be savory (think quiches and pot pies) or sweet with all kinds of fillings—fruit, cream, custard—and topped in ways that take them to the next level.

Gardner’s signature flaky crust has been a staple since 1975. Since then, they’ve changed the pie game with innovative flavors and creative combinations. With over 60 varieties, Gardner is expanding what pie can be—crafting unique flavors perfect for any occasion, event, or celebration. I’m pretty sure you’ll find a new favorite.

Imagine

Imagine celebrating your birthday, engagement, wedding, best friend’s baby shower—or even your parents’ retirement—with pie. There’s a flavor out there for everyone, whether you’re a choco-holic, fruit fanatic, or pumpkin patron.

Pie isn’t just something your grandma makes or a treat reserved for the holidays (though that’s pretty great, too). It’s a dessert for the young at heart, perfect for any occasion. With a wide assortment of flavors, pie brings new joy, happiness, and connection.

Now you might be wondering—what makes Gardner pies taste so good? Well, let me tell you what sets them apart from other brands.

What makes Gardner Pies taste so good?

The Original Natural Juice Pie!

What’s that, you ask? Well, I’ll let you in on their secret... Gardner pies are made only with the natural juices from the fruit—no added water—just pure, delicious fruit.

You and I care about what we eat, and Gardner gets that. They want us to enjoy our pie with total peace of mind. That’s one of the many reasons I love them. As we create special memories, we can savor each slice knowing exactly what’s inside.

Wild Blueberry Pie

For Example, the Wild Blueberry Pie:

This pie is a perfect example of how Gardner truly cares about quality and their customers. Wild blueberries are the very first ingredient—no fillers, just the good stuff. Sourced from Maine and Canada, these berries are packed with powerful antioxidants (and flavor!). Trust me, you need this pie.

Every Gardner pie is made with care: the best spices, sustainable shortening, a splash of water in the crust, a pinch of salt, real cane sugar, and locally sourced flour. It's simple, honest baking—and you can taste the difference in every bite.

Here's a list of some new pies:

• Strawberry Lemonade
