About

Pie making is becoming a lost art, but at Achatz Handmade Pie Company, we still do things the old-fashioned way. Many of our recipes were passed down through the generations, and we continue the tradition by using the same techniques learned in childhood.We started baking in 1993 in our Victorian home in Armada, Michigan. After moving our operation to a neighborhood, ten-acre apple orchard, Achatz Handmade Pie Company was officially born.

We have been featured on television on Food Network, The Rachael Ray Show, The Today Show, and Good Morning America Weekend and in magazines like Bon Appétit and Food & Wine. And, even though we have won numerous national and local awards, our pies remain down-to-earth, all natural, and wholesome.

Our Handmade Pies

Our mission is to create the best pies that stand up to the highest standards of quality, purity, and goodness. We care about what we bring to your table. We never use canned fruit and use every opportunity to source locally grown ingredients. Our cream pies are made from scratch using pure butter, pure vanilla, and fresh local whole milk. We focus on excellence and produce a pie that we believe is simply the best. At Achatz Handmade Pie Company, we know extra-care and extra-effort make an extra-delicious pie!

Testimonials

Purchased a blueberry pie last week and this was the best pie I have ever eaten. The crust was light, flakey and perfect. I'm so glad I found this pie company

My Krogers started carrying your pies. they had 2 of the chicken pot pies. I bought one and it was so good, I went and bought the other one they had. I am a Senior citizen and we play cards and the ladies loved them. the problem is we cannot find them,. Our Krogers store in Walled Lake, Mi had the berry pies but haven't had any of the chicken pies in about 2 weeks. Talked to the manager but no luck yet. Also would love to try the cannoli Pie. Our store just has the berry pies

I.ve just been informed that I'm receiving a gift of one of your pies! I'm so excited I can hardly wait for it to be delivered. It will be my first experience with your pies. After I've received it I'll keep you informed with the type of pie I receive and what the outcome is. Thanks for making such beautiful looking pies.

Thanks! It was a great pie. More than that...we are happy to support a company that is faithful. We saw the scripture on the box! Yeah! Good for you!
