Vikings and Goddesses Pie Company is taking Thanksgiving orders through Sunday, November 19th. Order here!
Vikings and Goddesses Pie Company (VAG) is a small, woman-owned bakery based in St. Paul that uses fresh local butter, flour, fruits and veggies from nearby farms to create mouth-watering pastries - highlighting the best of what the Twin Cities has to offer! Owner Rachel Anderson and her husband Yoji work directly with local farmers and food hubs like The Good Acre to utilize surplus food and minimize waste.
Despite what name suggests, VAG also makes a variety of baked goods including croissants, seasonal danishes, hand pies, muffins and more. Until recently they have only been available on Saturday mornings at the Mill City Farmers Market, along with a selection of local coffee shops. Now, VAG fans will have plenty of opportunities to get their fix of pastry perfection.
The business has been baking out of 2036 Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul since October, 2020. However, up until now there wasn’t a retail presence at this location. The new pickup window at the Merriam Park bakery will be open every Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 8am until 2pm and will offer their current seasonal selection of pastries and pies. Get there earlier in the day for a bigger selection! Customers will still be able to preorder and pick up throughout the week and the business will maintain a stall at the Mill City Farmers Market. The kitchen and store window buildout was made possible thanks to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture AGRI Value-Added Grant Program.
Thanksgiving is one big carb-fest of a holiday. If you or any of your guests are gluten intolerant, consider VAG's gluten-free pumpkin pie.
