What a Weekend!

posted by Sarah, May 12, 2009

Our opening weekend at the Farmer's Markets was fantastic!  Last week we baked more pies than we ever have in our lives - and we were so excited that so many people enjoyed them! 

Chris and I arrived at Beaverton on Saturday morning having no idea what to expect (and more than a little frazzled after two super long days baking pies), but soon our spirits were lifted by the lovely weather and the terrific crowds of happy market shoppers.  Our very first customer was a Brit who was excited to find meat pies in Portland, and throughout the day we met more folks from England, quite a few Aussies, and many more people who had eaten meat pies while travelling and agree that they are a delicious treat.

On Sunday Chris and Langdon were at the Tigard Area Farmer's Market, and Molly and I did Milwaukie.  Another great day, with many folks excited to find Aussie meat pies in Portland.

Thanks so much to all of our customers, you made Pacific Pie Company's launch a terrific success.  We're already taking pre-orders for this coming weekend, so we are gearing up for another big week of baking.  And we'll be bringing cheese & veg pasties and homemade sausage rolls to our markets, so come hungry (and yes, we will have sauce for the Aussies!).  We look forward to seeing you!

You are a wonderful welcome to the Aussie expat community in Portland. The pies sound delicious. I will come by some Saturday for a treat. I myself had a crepe stand at the Hillsboro and Orenco Station Farmers Market (an Aussie doing crepes!) so I appreciate the hard work. Good luck with your venture. I am sure you will so great and take those Yanks by storm!
