The Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop story begins in the kitchens of our grandmothers, Ruth and Edith, from Arkansas and Mississippi. Known for their quirky sayings, firm beliefs and delicious pies, biscuits and preserves, our grandmothers left a lasting mark on our hearts.
Scott grew up on a 1500-acre farm in rural Missouri, driving tractors and helping his Granny can fruit pies and preserves. Those experiences shaped his strong work ethic and love for handmade baked goods, setting the quality standard at Buttermilk Sky.
