🥧 Pumpkin or Pecan? Why choose when you can have BOTH?! 🍂

This week’s Pie Barn special is a little bit of pumpkin patch history, and a whole lot of deliciousness! Reintroducing Pumpkin Pecan Pie!

When we first opened the Pie Barn 12 years ago, we wanted to create several different pumpkin pies for our menu. After trying a million variations, this one stole our hearts (and our taste buds!). In fact, it was one of the ORIGINAL pies on our Pie Barn menu! 🧡

Turns out, pumpkin and pecan aren’t just good on their own... they’re even BETTER together! The best of both fall favorites, baked into one beautiful pie.

And what better time to bring back an old favorite than right in the heart of pumpkin season?! 🎃

🍁 Available for ONE WEEK ONLY!
Friday, October 16 – Thursday, October 22, or until sold out!

Come grab a slice of Pie Barn history while it’s here! 🥧🍂

Looks like Vala’s Pigtucky Derby Pig Race has a NEW Sensei, MARTIN KOVE from The Karate Kid! 🥋🐷

If you could name a pig after a character from The Karate Kid or Cobra Kai, what would you call it? 🐽😂

Martin Kove, best known as the legendary John Kreese, stopped by Vala’s Pumpkin Patch and posed for a photo with our very own Karate Pig, Mark Celesky! 📸
