The Picket Fence Cafe is in an historic building next to the river in Guttenberg

Summer has arrived, and I’m thinking about pie. Pie goes well with the warmer weather (as well as a scoop of vanilla). The next time I’m near Guttenberg, Iowa I’ll be stopping at the Picket Fence Cafe. Tucked into a corner of the Clayton Ridge Farm Meat Market, the cafe serves up fruit pies so good you’ll consider moving to Guttenberg so you can eat it more often.
