We're an award-winning bakery in Virginia one hour west of DC. Both stores are now fully open, and masks are required. Thanks for helping. President Obama says "I like pie.
That's not a state secret. And I can confirm that the Red Truck Bakery makes darn good pie": https://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse/posts/10154186824549238. See why The New York Times, Esquire, Garden & Gun and Southern Living are swooning over the Red Truck Bakery, and why Washingtonian magazine calls us their favorite food destination for a country drive (and why they named our pumpkin pie the best in all of DC, beating over 20 Washington-area restaurants and bakeries!

Friday is National Doughnut Day, and we’ll be celebrating through the weekend with a large variety of these gems at our Marshall store (open every day) and at our Warrenton location (closed Sundays). Please call a day ahead for larger orders.
Two months from today is the publication date of The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook, and we’re getting excited. Visit redtruckbakery.com and click on “Cookbooks” for the first of our book events throughout the South, and in Napa Valley and the Monterey Peninsula where my story starts. A crosswalk accident and concussion came close to derailing the book’s schedule during the final months of photography and edits, and we thank photographer Angie Mosier, recipe tester Bonnie Benwick, and former bakery staffer Venus Barratt for jumping in to help during the photo shoot at the farmhouse where the bakery was launched. Thanks also to Clarkson Potter editor Lydia O’Brien, who came down from New York to keep it on track. You all made the book even stronger.
Our number one favorite: Alma Hackney’s Rum Cake. As we head into June this week, we’re saluting our late choir director Alma Hackney’s 113th birthday with her beloved rum cake, light and golden and just right for summer. We wonder if its popularity is due to Southern Living giving our cake their annual Food Award, or because Washingtonian magazine says it’s the best afternoon pick-me-up in D.C. Or perhaps because chef Vivian Howard featured it onstage in a cooking demo at the ThriveNC festival, where we gave out nearly 4,000 samples. I’d say it’s because the buttery, crackly rum glaze makes it so delicious. We have plenty on hand in our Marshall store, and we ship it anywhere in the U.S. at RedTruckBakery.com.
A beloved destination known for pies, cakes, booze cakes, pastries, great coffee & sandwiches. We ship anywhere. Come visit.
Both of our bakery locations open today at 8 am. Our Warrenton store closes at 4 pm, while our Marshall store is open until 5 pm.
17 years ago today, we moved into our little rural Virginia farmhouse. It was to be just a weekend getaway, and we never imagined it would launch two beloved bakeries, two cookbooks, and thousands of happy fans across America thanks to our nationwide shipping. We have a big summer and fall ahead: The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook arrives August 2 and I’ll be signing books throughout the South—and in Napa Valley & the Monterey Peninsula, where my story starts.

Our Marshall store is open 8 am to 5 pm Sunday and Memorial Day, fully stocked with freshly-baked seasonal pies—local blueberries start this weekend! We’re making an abundance of cake varieties (some with booze), our own Moo Thru line of ice cream, cupcakes, doughnuts, pastries, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soup of the day, and so much more. Stop by and behold, thankfully, our new freshly-poured sidewalk and easy entrance.

Stop by and behold, thankfully, our new freshly-poured sidewalk and easy entrance.
Just in time for the holiday weekend: fresh local blueberries are in! We’re also bringing back our Atlantic Beach pies (chilled lemon & lime in a saltine cracker crust) and Key lime pies each weekend through Labor Day. And don’t forget our ice cream from Moo Thru with our cake mix-ins. We are OPEN Memorial Day.
Today’s best deal: If you’ve been following the Red Truck Bakery, you know of our love for Garden & Gun Magazine (I spent 30 years working in the magazine world and it’s my favorite). We carry each issue in both of our stores, and are proud to have been featured in their magazine and on the cover. In honor of their 15th anniversary, they are offering (for a very limited time) a year’s subscription for $15. It’s an unprecedented and inexpensive way to get the magazine that is indeed the soul of the South: the best food, restaurants, culture, music, travel, style, arts, gardens, literature, and sporting life of the region featuring award-winning writing and photography. If you hurry you’ll receive their new Summer issue and then the annual Food issue (our favorite, naturally): http://ow.ly/THzQ50Ja2ap
We are open for business! We love our new sidewalks—especially since they now enable customers to use our front door once again. Brick borders are next, along with tree plantings, and burying utilities and wiring underground.
Both stores are OPEN Memorial Day—it’s a big pie weekend. Atlantic Beach pies, Key lime pies, blueberry pies are back, and we're starting to make fresh strawberry pies. Call the appropriate location to pre-order for pickup, or stop by Friday through Monday; we’ll have a good selection of pies, cakes, sandwiches and pastries throughout the holiday weekend. Please note that our Warrenton store is closed on Sundays, and our Marshall store is open every day.
We deliver directly from our kitchen to your door anywhere in the United States. Order now at RedTruckBakery.com for arrival before the holiday weekend.

A bounty of strawberries led us to jump the gun and start making strawberry shortcakes this weekend at our Marshall store (while they last). We'll have them next weekend at both stores. Photo from the cover of our upcoming Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook by Angie Mosier.
If you happen to know our customer Elise W Pettie, please let her know that she left an item here, and she should call us. Thanks.
Buckle up—the first local strawberries are in the house. We’re starting off with strawberry-rhubarb pie and strawberry buckle.
The neighbors are envious of our new sidewalk. We’re just glad you can get in the front door.
At both of our stores and nowhere else in the world: Moo Thru ice cream with our cakes and granola mixed in. Grab a pint to keep your pie company.
A pat on the back and a handshake to the customer who walked into our store this week and asked if we were still donating to chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen with each Ukrainian cookie sold. When we said yes, he bought them all and left without them, asking that we hand them out to our customers. We did, and we’re moved by his generosity. We’ll be making these every day. We’re also selling Ukrainian flag pins on behalf of Rappahannock glass artisan Heidi Morf, who in turn is donating 100% of her proceeds to WCK.
Is there anyone out there needing some extra cash today in exchange for washing dishes at our Marshall location? We need help—roust your kid out of bed if necessary. Email [email protected]. And we’ll also give you a free cake or pie.
Don’t forget Mother’s Day: We’re fully stocked today with freshly-baked cakes, pies, breakfast pastries, coffee cakes, quiche, cards, and so much more.
Short term apt rental needed: We need help from our Northern Virginia friends in Arlington and McLean: We have a friend whose son (now a senior in Colorado) has been offered a three-month internship in McLean, Virginia, and is struggling to find a place to stay (anywhere in the area) between May 15 and August 15. Without a car, he'll be using public transportation. He and his dad will be in town next weekend and we hope to provide them with a few places (garage apartment, studio, room for rent) to look at. Send me an email at [email protected]. Huge thanks.
We’re always happy to support the Rappahannock Food Pantry and their benefit dinner. When it’s held at Chuck & Dee Akre’s barn, we’re glad we were invited. And congratulations to Nell Payne, the winner of “Six Months of Red Truck Bakery Cakes.”
It's Free Coffee Weekend at our Marshall store: it's our thanks for putting up with our sidewalk reconstruction. Buy mom a cake or pie as long as you're here. And grab some Woodford Reserve bourbon balls and cherries for the Derby and Gold Cup viewing.
Even if it’s raining, we can’t forget about Mom: all kinds of baking is underway. And a bonus—our seasonal strawberry rhubarb pies are here. And, well, Woodford Reserve’s bourbon balls.
We’re your Kentucky Derby and Virginia Gold Cup headquarters for bourbon cakes, Kentucky bourbon pecan pies, and Woodford Reserve bourbon balls & bourbon cherries.
Today is Give Local Piedmont Day, and we’re asking for your help for the Fauquier Education Farm—and we’ll give you a free cake for your donation. See details here: https://conta.cc/3LH1MSb
Tuesday, May 3 is Give Local Piedmont Day Please join us in raising needed funds for the Fauquier Education Farm. Area students are taught about farming, and they then support the community (and those
Three months from today is the publication date of our new Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook. It wouldn’t have been possible without the superb guidance of my Clarkson Potter editor Lydia O’Brien (here presenting a fried green tomato & pimento cheese sandwich for photographer Angie Mosier). As the book was wrapping up and I was dealing with a concussion, Lydia guided me through the final stages of edit corrections and helped with the farmhouse photo shoot, and she kept the book (and me) on track. You’ll see the good work on August 2.
Back for one weekend as supplies last: our yearly Wild Ramp & Mushroom Quiche, gleaned from the hills of West Virginia. If that's not enough, we're also baking mushroom & bacon quiche, veggie mushroom quiche, and our country ham quiche and our veggie asparagus quiche. (Sorry, but we don't ship our quiche).
Gratitude forever to pie baker Sonya, who leaves us today as she heads to pastry school. She sure can teach them a thing or two. What a joy it’s been to have her on the team.
This Saturday (and every day), please support your local independent bookstores—exploring books in person is an adventure! Thanks to our favorite booksellers for hosting us later this year: we love them and they love cake, so it’s win-win. @indiebookstoreday
