We purchased the largest coconut cream pie I've ever seen and I couldn't resist taking home the buttermilk. I will say, if you visit the Oxbow with the intention of pie buying you had better snap one up quick; two pies left as we entered and three more left before we did! I had a hard time making my selection, until I saw the buttermilk pie. It just happens to be my favorite!
I must admit, I love my grandmother's buttermilk pie recipe, but Mrs. Becky's was amazing. The pie filling was a creamy goodness with a zing of lemon. It was sweet and flavorful and after two slices the pie went into the fridge. A girl's got to watch her figure!
Mrs. Becky and the rest of the Oxbow staff were friendly and welcoming. The antique portion of the store has unique consignment booths overflowing with all sorts of interesting items. I found an early American shovel, a cheese block table, and a handful of vintage hankies. It definitely takes some time to peruse everything, so allow yourself a few extra minutes when visiting.
