Scotty’s Country Kitchen is a unique bakery that stands out. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to using their own recipes and only homegrown ingredients from Soons Orchards, the family farm. This unique approach to baking ensures that all the goods they create have extraordinary taste that you won’t find anywhere else.
The bakery’s story, a tale of community and tradition, began in August 1987. Newlyweds Laura and Scotty embarked on a culinary adventure, centered around one core ingredient: fresh apples from the family farm. With the guidance of Scotty’s dad, they honed their skills and set up a kitchen to sell their creations at the farm store. This humble beginning marked the start of their inspiring journey towards success, a journey that continues to be shared with their loyal customers.
Over the years, Scotty’s Country Kitchen has expanded its offerings to include various baked goods, from bread and muffins to cookies and cakes. It has also gained a loyal following of customers who appreciate the quality and taste of its products.
Today, Scotty’s Country Kitchen remains a family-owned and operated business, with Laura and Scotty still at the helm. Their commitment to using only the freshest, homegrown ingredients and creating original recipes makes them stand out in taste. If you’re looking for a unique and special bakery, you can go right with Scotty’s Country Kitchen.
Their products can be found at farmers’ markets throughout the Hudson Valley, at the farm Pie Stand, or purchased online.
