In a world where convenience often replaces craftsmanship, there’s a place where the aroma of freshly baked pies tells a different story—a story of heritage, heart, and homemade goodness. Welcome to the bakery at Shady Maple Farm Market, where every slice of pie is a taste of tradition dating back to 1974.
It all began with Marvin and Miriam Weaver, the visionary founders of Shady Maple. When they opened their farm market over 50 years ago, they didn’t just sell food—they shared the flavors of their heritage. Among their most cherished contributions? Their time-honored pie recipes. Today, those very same recipes are still at the heart of the bakery, made from scratch just like Marvin and Miriam intended.
Step into the market’s bakery and you’re greeted by a mouthwatering showcase of over 20 varieties of pies, each lovingly crafted in-house. These aren’t your ordinary desserts—they’re authentic Pennsylvania Dutch masterpieces, blending the old-world flavors with fresh, local ingredients. Whether you crave the rich molasses sweetness of a classic Shoofly Pie or the warm comfort of a fresh-baked apple pie, Shady Maple delivers every time.
But the selection doesn’t stop there. You’ll find seasonal delights like pumpkin pie in the fall and tangy cherry pie bursting with summer’s best fruit. With such a wide variety—from crumb-topped to double-crust, traditional to inventive—you’re bound to discover a new favorite (or ten). And because they’re all made from scratch, you can truly taste the difference in every bite.
At Shady Maple, pie is more than dessert. It’s a legacy. It’s the spirit of hospitality and home. It’s a sweet slice of Pennsylvania Dutch culture that continues to bring families together, just like it did back in 1974.
So the next time you visit Shady Maple Farm Market, follow the scent of cinnamon and baked crust. You’re not just buying a pie—you’re bringing home a piece of history.
