600 made-from-scratch Pies made by the best Pie makers in the Valley!
From 1866 - 1924, investors coming into Montana from as far as Chicago and New York, were buying up parcels of land to grow crops of McIntosh Apples. These juicy, red fruits were known to grow very well in the Bitterroot Valley, but not in other places. Because of their tartness, McIntosh apples were known far and wide to be one of the best apples for pies.
By 1924, many orchards had gone out of business due to hail damage, frost, and irrigation issues leading to crop failures. However, the fame of “Montana Macs” endures today through a few local orchards that survived and thrived, and through McIntosh Apple Day.
