Despite the fact that pies come in sorts of fabulous flavors, there are a few varieties that claim a spot on the proverbial pie winner’s podium time and time again. (We’re looking at you, apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie!) But as any true born-and-bred Southerner can attest, pumpkin pie isn’t nearly as delicious as sweet potato pie. These sweet, buttery tubers transform into caramelized, creamy filling when mixed with just a few simple ingredients. And when poured into a flakey, buttery shell and baked low and slow? It’s the stuff of our Thanksgiving dreams! Happily, you don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy this delicacy in the Bluegrass — nor do you have to sacrifice sublime pie experience for year-round convenience. In fact, the best sweet potato pie in the world is located at the Bardstown Road Farmers’ Market, and it’s absolutely worth planning an entire weekend adventure around!

Since 1991, the Original Bardstown Road Farmers' Market has been a perennial town favorite, helping promote some of the best local farmers and small businesses in the Bluegrass.
