Lou’s Fried PiesRISON, ARKANSAS • SINCE 1978

Rison, Arkansas. Since 1978.

Come in.
Lou’s in the kitchen.

A borrowed fryer. A basket of peaches. Enough nerve to put a little stand beside Highway 79.

That was Louise Greer’s start. She learned her dough from her mother, learned everybody’s order by heart, and never learned to make a pie in a hurry. We still roll, fill, fold and crimp every one by hand.

Same hands.
Same kind of love.

Lou started with a borrowed fryer, a peach tree, and a little stand on Highway 79. Folks stopped for a pie. Then they stopped for Lou.

In 2021, Lou’s grandson worked out how to send a little of Rison to folks who had moved away. He lines the boxes, checks the pies, and makes sure your gift note goes on top. Lou checks his work.
