Pie 24/7, 365 Days a Year! Rockland, ME
Pie Mom and her work at Berry Manor Inn, Rockland ME.
While enjoying the fabulous Pies on Parade in Rockland, Maine, I had the chance to visit the Berry Manor Inn, one of the Historic Inns of Rockland.
The Berry Manor is a Victorian mansion with twelve lovely guest rooms in its main house and carriage house, all beautifully appointed and spacious.
But what made the Berry Manor unique was its practice of having pie available every day of the year. Each night guests could sample a different homemade pie, made by one of the inn's "pie moms." If you weren't hungry for pie that evening, the pies were also available 24 hours a day in the guest pantry.
Unfortunately, it seems the COVID pandemic put an end to Pie 24/7/365, but I can hope the custom is revived in the future.
What's a pie mom? They actually were the mothers of the Inn's owners, and they baked the pies. They'd been featured on local and national TV, including the Food Network.
I've heard of room service, chocolates on the pillow, mini-bars, in-room coffee makers, turn down service, and more. I've received fruit baskets, bottles of wine, fuzzy slippers, and stuffed animals as welcome gifts. But to my mind having pie 24/7, 365 days a year tops them all!
The Berry Manor celebrated National Pie Day all year long and sets he bar high for those of us who consider ourselves pie lovers. U
