This One-Of-A-Kind Fruit Farm In Utah Serves Up Fresh Homemade Pie To Die For

There are plenty of places to find perfect pies in Utah, from this Southern Utah little pie shop that sells hundreds of pies during the holidays, to this adorable little pie shop in Heber. There's one wonderful place to get pie that's completely unexpected: Capitol Reef National Park. Pay a visit to the Gifford Homestead for a sweet surprise.

The Gifford Homestead is a historic treasure at Capitol Reef National Park. Originally built back in 1908 by Calvin Pendleton, the Jorgenson family also lived here briefly, and the Gifford family called this place home from 1928 to 1969.

Address: Capitol Reef National Park, Scenic Drive, Teasdale, UT, 84773

The 200-acre homestead includes a farmhouse, smokehouse, garden, pasture, and orchards full of peach, apple, and cherry trees.

You can pick fruit here seasonally, but you're also going to want to visit the store, where you'll find fresh-baked pies.

The little shop is located in the farmhouse, and it's open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season (March 14th through October 31st).

The shop is full of wonderful gift items, many handmade by local artisans. You'll find aprons, cookbooks, hand-crafted rolling pins, and more. Take home a memento that's reminiscent of the pioneer era.

The case full of homemade pies is sure to draw your attention. It's stocked full of apple, cherry, peach, pumpkin, and rhubarb pies.

The little individual pies are absolute perfection! Pair yours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or enjoy the sweet taste of the fruit on its own.

The homestead has a large, shady picnic area with plenty of tables, so you can take your pies out into the fresh air and enjoy them.

Make Gifford Homestead part of your next trip to Capitol Reef National Park, and save room for dessert!
