One Saturday in Canyon I sold 40 pies before noon and it broke my brain

I run a small pie stall at the Canyon Farmers Market and two weeks ago I showed up with 45 pies. By 11:30 I had 5 left and a line of people asking for flavors I had already run out of. A lady bought 6 pecan pies for a family reunion and her sister bought another 5 right behind her. I made more money in three hours than I usually do in a whole weekend. It felt amazing but also made me realize I need to plan way better for demand. Has anyone else had a random blowout day like that where you just weren't ready for it?

40 pies before noon is just a sign of how people are craving real food these days.

idk man, maybe it's just me but I tried switching to a more whole foods diet a few months back and it changed everything. Started making my own pies from scratch with local produce and suddenly I was eating way more than 40 before lunch without even trying. Real food just hits different, you know? Like I actually feel satisfied instead of that weird processed food emptiness.
