Bites by Sam

Hello Bite Squad
As some of you may have noticed I've been a little quiet lately. This season I've been focusing on reflection; on the business, on my goals and passions, and on my personal life. I started Bites by Sam in 2020 with no expectations. I didn't think that this would be anything more than a side gig that I would do to keep me from going insane at my full-time job.

The Pandemic changed all of that. It gave me the opportunity to turn Bites by Sam into a career. An unexpected and chaotic one, but a career that I loved. Being a small-business owner means that I'm working all the time, in a lot of ways that I didn't anticipate. I've become a speed pie box folder, a graphic designer, and a reluctant morning person.

Unfortunately, this reflection also happened around the same time that my mother became ill. She was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and I've turned all of my attention to spending time with her. I would have loved to continue the markets until the end of the season and say goodbye to all of you but my priority is with my family right now.

I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting me throughout this journey. I hope to be able to continue Bites by Sam in some small way once things in my personal life get to a new normal.

We won't be at markets this weekend! But don't worry we won't be gone long. We'll see you next weekend with our delicious pies and cookies.

We'll have a smaller inventory this weekend so make sure to pre-order or get to the market early for your pie fix!

We can't believe it's June already! We've got blueberry hand pies to offer you this weekend to celebrate the start of the summer.

We've got cheeseburger hand pies just for this weekend! And... DONUTS!

That's right it's donut weekend at Reston and Lorton! Only available at the markets this weekend. Grab some while they last!

Come out and get your this weekend!

Celebrating Mother's Day with the ones I love! Wishing all the mamas out there a day of rest and relaxation surrounded by their loved ones ❤

Come see us at these markets ☝️this weekend (May 6-7). It's our first Sunday at Lorton and Haymarket!

When I first started Bites by Sam I had so many ideas about what I wanted to make. I was testing recipes for cream puffs and brownies and muffins and so many things. The one thing I didn’t anticipate was how much you all would love my chicken pot pie. And that love has completely shaped the trajectory of this bakery.

Now that we’ve hit our fourth year at the farmer’s markets it was time for a little bit of reflection on how our branding could better represent the products that you all know and love.

I hope you all like the new design! We’ll be running out the old logo for a little bit so you’ll still see it on our printed material. But don’t worry we’re still the same place you can get the best savory pie at!

Opening day for the Reston Farmers Market this weekend - stock up on the freshest bites 🥧🥧🥧

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect time to get festive with the colors of green and gold! We are enjoying a box of delicious meringue cookies and celebrating this special day with family and friends.
