Sounds like another exciting release from the The Handpie Company on the horizon! They always do such a great job at incorporating Island ingredients into their product, so you know whatever they've got cooking up, it's going to be full of goodness!

As the weather starts to chill and the evenings stretch out, my deep need for traditional comfort food grows.

Our Maritime Meat Pie is the PEI Christmas meat pie of our dreams. Filled with shredded turkey, pork, beef, and seasoned with summer savoury.
The ongoing battle continues with staff debating what the perfect condiment is for these, but because I'm in charge of the social media I'm here to tell you that I can down half a bottle of mustard pickles with one of these beauties.

Whether you're celebrating the season, or just that you've made it through another election season, we're here for you.

Stay tuned for a very exciting, first ever, seasonal handpie release in about two weeks, folks. Semi related to this handpie post, this will be a limited edition, Albany shop only, not to be missed festive savoury pie delight.

local products are made best with local ingredients! Kudos to the The Handpie Company for their commitment to locally sourced inputs!

Flaky, buttery pastry that features our local, organic, heritage grain Red Fife wheat from Kathy at in Bedeque. It's what makes our handpies so craveable, and so very much a true taste of PEI!

It helps to also have Canada's best butter producers in our neighbourhood, keeps us supplied with an average of 300lbs of butter each week.

This village is strong, and we couldn't be prouder to be a part of it.

Did you know that Brackley Bay Oyster Company is the proud caretaker of one of PEI’s oldest surveyed leases? Dating back to the 1920s, this legacy started with Lorne and Edith MacMillan, true pioneers in their community. Lorne—a skilled farmer, builder, and oyster grower—crafted homegrown solutions for every challenge, while Edith taught at the local schoolhouse and made her mark with delicious pickles and preserves.

Today, Brackley Bay Oyster Company carries on their legacy, cultivating some of PEI’s finest oysters with the same dedication and care. Raise a shell to history and quality, one oyster at a time!
