Our Sources
We use all (mostly local!) organic ingredients, including all of our butter, eggs, cream and milk, flour, sugar, fruit, nuts, and everything else. The only non-organic ingredients we use are our chocolate (which is Fair Trade Certified and locally made), pecans (we choose to buy local spray free nuts rather than certified organic pecans all the way from Texas), and salt (cause it’s a mineral, duh!).
Allergens: We do our absolute best to prevent any allergen contamination, though we do work in a facility that handles flour, dairy, nuts, and other allergens. If you are concerned about cross contamination, please call us to discuss.
Nuts: Our products do not contain nuts unless specifically stated in the product name (i.e. Bourbon Pecan pie or Banana Chocolate Walnut cookies.) One exception: our Cherry Pie contains natural almond extract.
Gluten and dairy: Many of our products contain wheat or dairy unless labeled as vegan or gluten-free. That said, we have a variety of vegan and gluten free offerings including seasonal vegan and gluten free fruit crumble pies, as well as GF Key Lime and Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan
Eggs: Our fruit pies don’t generally contain eggs, but all custard and nut pies contain eggs.
If you are concerned about cross contamination, please call us to discuss.
JUST SOME OF OUR SUPPLIERS:
Hidden Star Orchards – The Smit family’s ranch is just down the road from Babe Anna’s family homestead. Their five kids caused almost as much trouble at St. Mary’s High School as we did! Trouble-making aside, we are inspired by their work-ethic and commitment to their products, and we are proud to bake their blueberries and cherries, and apples into delicious pies.
Nana Mae’s Organics – Paul from Nana Mae’s is such a nice man! We heart him, and we are pretty obsessed with all of the crazy wonderful heirloom apples that are growing over at Nana Mae’s.
Frog Hollow – No surprise here, Farmer Al gets it DONE with some of the juciest, most flavorful fruit in the market. We love Frog Hollow’s stone fruit in the summer, and their juicy pears in the fall and winter.
Guittard Chocolate – This is a fifth generation San Francisco owned business! The chocolate is fair trade certified and Amy Guittard is our homegirl! We primarily use their 72% Coucher du Soleil Chocolate, but are also big fans of their other lines for eating and baking at home!
Yerena Farms – We love Poli and Sylvia Yerena! Their strawberries are the best and are the only ones we use! You can find this hardworking couple at farmers markets around SF – The Ferry Building on Tuesdays and Saturdays, Alemany on Saturdays, The Heart of the City Farmers Market (Civic Center) on Wednesdays and the Mission Community Market on Thursdays.
Balakian Farms – We love Balakian’s stone fruit – plums, peaches, apricots and nectarines. You can find them at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturdays and at the Marin Civic Center market on Sundays.
DeVoto Gardens – Delicious apples and also beautiful flowers from Sebastopol!
Happy Quail – David is our main source for Rhubarb galore and sometimes peppers! He also wears amazing peppers shirts all the time so we have to give a shout out to his style! He’s at the Tuesday and Saturday markets at the Ferry Building.
Old Dog Ranch – Old Dog Ranch is both the home of our childhood friends, and the source of the most delicious walnuts you can find (their dad Roger is the farmer!) Our friend Mollie now has a walnut snack and nut butter company by the same name that you can also find at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturdays.
G.L. Alfieri – Pecans from Ripon, which is in our very own San Joaquin County (Alfieri also makes delicious nut brittle candy!) You can find them at the farmers market or at their stall inside the Ferry Building!
