It's no surprise that Pumpkin Pie Day falls on Dec. 25 since it's so closely associated with Christmas as well as Thanksgiving. Americans love to gobble the pie up in the fall and into winter, with some enjoying the treat plain and others adding a dollop of whipped cream to top their pie off with an additional boost of sweetness.
  
Our agents recommend ordering from any of these five places for Pumpkin Pie Day and making plans to visit the rest on another day.

1. Murray Family Farms Big Red Barn - 6700 General Beale Rd., Bakersfield, CA  93307
   It's hard to beat farm fresh when it comes to flavor, and that's exactly the type of pumpkin pie you'll get from Murray Family Farms. Their produce, which is grown using sustainable practices and is certified organic, is used to make their pies, which are baked in the orchard kitchen ovens. In addition to pumpkin pie, you can also order a variety of other fruit pies, including apple, blackberry. blueberry, cherry, peach, and mixed berry. Order online to ensure your fresh pie will be ready to pick up at the farm.
   
   
2. Tastries - 3665 Rosedale Hwy., Bakersfield, CA 93308 
   Tastries custom-makes a variety of items sure to please your sweet tooth, including pies, fruit tarts, cakes, and cheesecakes. If you're looking to celebrate Pumpkin Pie Day, try the bakery's traditional pumpkin or their pumpkin cream cheese pie. And if you're craving the flavor of pumpkin, but would like a little variety, give their pumpkin spice cake a try.
   
   
3. Smith's Bakeries - 2808 Union Ave., Bakersfield, CA 93305, plus other Bakersfield locations
   Founded in 1945, Smith's Bakeries continues to provide delicious baked goods to residents of Bakersfield and the surrounding areas.

4. TehachaPie at Mill Street Kitchen - 208 South Mill St., Tehachapi, CA 93561
   For the past 30 years, TehachaPie at Mill Street Kitchen has served flavorful pies – including pumpkin – in its charming shop as well as in local farmer's markets. You'll find their kitchen and its delicious aroma just around the corner from Tehachapi homes for sale. The same secret homemade recipe has been used throughout the years to create the real fruit pie filling, as well as the flaky pie crusts, from scratch. And if you're following a gluten-free diet, you'll still be able to indulge in a gluten-free version of their pumpkin pie.
   
   
5. Kohnen's Country Bakery - 125 W. Tehachapi Blvd. #D, Tehachapi, CA 93561
   The Kohnen family moved to the community when they were looking for a place to relocate their historic bakery. Impressed by Tehachapi's friendly sense of community, they bought an old potato packing house and antique shed that needed renovating. While still retaining their bakery's Old World Charm, they opened Kohnen's Country Bakery in 2004. You can get your pumpkin pie fix here while also shopping for handcrafted breads.
