Thanksgiving is all about savoring moments with loved ones, sharing gratitude, and gathering around a table filled with comforting food. Here at Lyman Orchards, Thanksgiving is one of our favorite times of the year - it's when the air turns crisp, the orchards are golden with late-autumn leaves, and the kitchen is bustling with the cozy scent of pies baking in the oven.

For generations, pies have been a centerpiece of Thanksgiving tables. There's something about a pie that feels like a warm embrace - it's simple, timeless, and always made with love. And it there's one thing that we've learned over the years, it's that a good pie can bring people together. Whether it's the excitement of slicing into a freshly baked apple pie, the nostalgia of a pumpkin pie shared with family, or the rich, nutting sweetness of a pecan pie, each pie has its own story.

Our bakers pour their hearts into every pie, using ingredients from our orchards and local farms. It's a reminder of the land, the seasons, and the people who have come before us, baking pies for their families over the centuries.

One of the special parts of Thanksgiving here at Lyman Orchards is seeing families come back year after year to pick up their pies. Many of our customers tell us that a Lyman pie has been part of their Thanksgiving for as long as they can remember. Some even share stories of their childhood visits to the orchard, when they'd pick apples in the fall with their parents or grandparents - now, they're making those same memories with their own kids.

Beyond pies, Thanksgiving brings a sense of stillness to the orchard, where the trees and fields are settling in for winter. There's a peacefulness that hangs in the air, a reminder of the year gone by and all the things to be grateful for. We love watching families explore the farm market, taking home fresh cider or a few extra apple cider donuts to enjoy with a morning coffee as they prep for the big meal. It's the little things that make Thanksgiving feel so special.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we just want to take a moment to say how thankful we are for our community - for the families who come to Lyman Orchards not just for the pies, but to make memories, share traditions, and be part of our story. From all of us here at Lyman Orchards, we with you a warm, joyful Thanksgiving. May it be filled with good food, great company, and the comforting taste of a slice of pie shared with those you love.

Happy Thanksgiving!
