Ingredient FAQ

Where do you source your ingredients from?

We primarily use locally sourced ingredients in all of our seasonal products, and rely on many value-added vendors to supplement our always-made-in-house products, including:

- Holmes Sweet Home
- TUFT Confectionary 
- MacGregor Orchard
- Rambling Rosa Farm
- Bee Well Honey
- Bio-Way Farm
- Carolina Ground

We also responsibly source bulk items, like butters, flours, or sugars, from distribution partners in the Upstate of SC and Foothills of NC.

Are any of your items gluten free or vegan?

Yes! We feature a number of gluten free or vegan treats as part of our core offerings. We also have developed an incredible vegan and gluten free ice cream that will be available for purchase soon!

Do you use any dyes or synthetic food colorings?

Not really! We prioritize natural food coloring in our products. Sometimes, we will create our own sanding sugars using food colorings for specialty items, and we will always point this out in the product description.

Are you hiring?

Yummy pies

We took two pies from Hester General Bakery to a family gathering and the chocolate pecan pie and apple pie were enjoyed.

The best pecan pie ever....

I wanted to share my feelings about this wonderful chocolate pecan pie. I received it as a gift and normally I like just plain old pecan pie, but this pie with its blend of pecans, spices and chocolate is the bomb....You cannot make a pie this good without putting love into it. The crust is so good it reminded me of the pie crusts my grandmother made. You cannot go wrong with this chocolate pecan pie. Hats off to the folks at Hester General Store, you make a great pie, and you made the holidays so much better. Thank you.
