Top 5 Pies at Bowerman Blueberries Farm & Market
1. Harvest Moon Pie (Fall Favorite)
This pie is the first to sell out when the leaves start changing. The Harvest Moon Pie is a cold-style pumpkin pie with a creamy spiced filling, topped with fluffy layers and toffee bits. It is not just a dessert. It is an autumn experience. Smooth, sweet, and layered with texture, it has become a fall tradition for many Bowerman customers. There is nothing better than sharing a slice after a chilly walk through the orchard or bringing it to a weekend gathering to impress your guests.
2. Blueberry Lattice Pie
Nothing says Michigan blueberries like Bowerman’s classic Blueberry Lattice Pie. Packed with all-fruit filling and wrapped in a buttery lattice crust, this pie showcases what Bowerman does best. The ingredients are simple and clean, and let the fruit shine. It is the definition of summer comfort and a fan favorite for out-of-town visitors and locals alike.
3. Cherry Blueberry Crumb Pie
This one is for fans of bold flavor combinations. Tart cherries and sweet blueberries come together under a golden crumb topping to create a pie that feels both nostalgic and a little adventurous. If you like a little zing in your dessert, this blend of two Michigan-grown fruits brings big flavor and beautiful contrast.
