Scotty’s Country Kitchen – If you’re ever in New Hampton, New York, and craving a taste of honest-to-goodness country baking, you absolutely have to stop by Scotty’s Country Kitchen. This beloved spot, founded by newlyweds Laura and Scott Thornton in 1987, has become a true Hudson Valley gem. They’re all about homemade goodness, and their secret ingredient? Fresh apples from Laura’s family farm, Soons Orchards. That’s right, they’re practically farm-to-table for their fantastic pies and other baked delights.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, like a warm hug from a friendly neighbor. Scotty’s is renowned for their pies and pastries, and they take pride in using simple, fresh ingredients, even growing their own rhubarb in their kitchen gardens. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic apple pie, a delightful blueberry crumb pie, or a unique chocolate zucchini bread, Scotty’s Country Kitchen’s menu has something to satisfy every sweet tooth. They even offer gluten-free options and sugar-free pies, proving that delicious can be inclusive.
The bakery has flourished over the years, selling their scrumptious baked goods at local farmer’s markets throughout the Hudson Valley. And get this: Laura and Scotty are still hands-on, baking everything from scratch with the help of their “hardworking pie crew” and even their grown children. This commitment to family and tradition is what makes Scotty’s Country Kitchen so special. It’s a place where every bite feels like a taste of home and a testament to the power of fresh ingredients and love for baking.
