Gifford Homestead

*NOTE: no fruit this year (2025) because all the blossoms froze in the spring. They still make and sell pies but they’re not made with Capitol Reef fruit. So cute, love the nods to pioneer life and culture. These people built sustainably before it was cool. They used but also enriched the land through proper land management. So much respect for these early settlers that carved out a life here!

Great pie and National Parks. A pairing that is a great idea. They also have limited quantities of cinnamon rolls and sourdough bread. At least that's what the label on the empty case says. Pie flavors include apple, strawberry rhubarb, mixed berry, peach, and cherry. We tried cherry, peach (pictured), and strawberry rhubarb. They were all very tasty and the crust was flaky and delicious. I wish I could have more great pie like these at other national parks!

The mixed berry pie was very delicious; the filling and crust were perfectly baked. We also bought bread and jams to take home. Even though we had to wait because they were closed for lunch when we arrived, we were happy to stop by.

Great little spot. The place itself is a bit small but what else would you expect, it's part of the charm. Very cool little gifts and things to buy. Has a small museum in one of the rooms. They sell some very yummy fruits and jams. The pies are amazing. Home made and delicious. Easy to find, not sure why others can't, must be a personal issue navigating a map.

The pies are amazing, especially for only $8.50. But they close for lunch and some of the items are ridiculously expensive, like $54 for a wooden spoon. There are picnic tables right outside to sit and eat or the picnic area just before the homestead.

They have some vegan pie options and sell unique locally made goods! This place is a must stop if you’re at Capital Reef National Park!

We like most people, stopped in here for the pies, and was it worth the stop, they were amazing and well worth the $8,there are shaded parks around the house, so you can sit and enjoy you plunder with a light breeze comforting you as you rest after you day of hiking and sightseeing.

A place to get local homemade pies. It may run out of stock by the afternoon. Pie goes well with its vanilla icecream.
