The recipes developed for this story are meant to salute North Carolina farm products, while adding a few new elements to enhance the flavors and great selection grown in state.
And while there’s nothing like a homemade pie crust, we won’t tell if you use store-bought – the fillings are the stars for these recipes.
Though fresh cherries are mostly grown in Michigan and the Northwest, tart and sweet cherries can grow in North Carolina. The trees require cold months and a few years of maturity to produce fruit. Peaches are right at home here in the Old North State. These two fruits pair nicely, as the tart and sweet flavors in each complement rather than compete with each other. These baked Cherry-Peach Hand Pies are slightly less decadent than the fried version. They also make less of a mess than fried pies. I like these because they’re quick to make and can be picked up like a cookie – a big, gooey, delicious cookie.

I tried to send an article idea to the address you have in the magazine ncfieldfamily.org/story and it’s saying not a valid address. Do you have another address because I don’t want to retype what I have already typed via this comment.

I love Field and Family- the new NC Farm Bureau magazine. The articles are well written and interesting and I love the recipe section. Can hardly wait to try this month’s lemon pie. Vivian Howard’s recipes are always great.
I don’t know who decided to update magazine but GREAT idea! Hit a home run!!
Love the articles in this magazine
