The holiday season arrives under many banners: Pilgrim plays at school, the bloom of Christmas lights. For me, it’s heralded by a craving for all things pumpkin. The flavor of this seasonal staple (along with its supporting cast of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove) fills me with a longing that’s as powerful as it is prompt, arriving every year with the first frost and lingering through New Year’s.
And it’s not just pumpkin I crave, but One-Pie canned pumpkin puree. It’s New England’s unofficial brand — the same brand used by my mother before me. The flavor is rich and consistent, the texture perfect. And truth be told, I can’t resist the label, which hasn’t changed in at least 50 years and looks even older. When it comes to my pumpkin, I accept no substitute.
But despite my deep attachment, I realized that I knew almost nothing about One-Pie. A glance at the label assured me that it hails from West Paris, Maine. But my preliminary research on the company behind it yielded nothing: no Web site, no advertising, not even a voice on the line. Weeks of calls to headquarters led only to unreturned messages. Was our beloved brand a chimera?
Finally … an actual person in West Paris, who picked up the phone and led me to Jim Sheridan, a former account manager for Johnson O’Hare, a regional food broker based in Billerica, Massachusetts. Jim is now mostly retired, but he handled the One-Pie account for 10 years, and he understands our loyalty. In fact, that loyalty is now reaching beyond New England. When one supermarket chain carrying the brand expanded into upstate New York, Sheridan says a rival market “had to start carrying it as well to compete.”
One-Pie’s history is rooted in Maine’s 19th- and early-20th-century food-products boom, when the state was home to well over 100 canneries. Maine, with its teeming waters and cool climate, shipped and sold sardines, sweet corn, beans, apples, and, yes, pumpkin. One-Pie canned pumpkin (the company also offers canned squash) officially got its start at the Medomak Canning Co. in Winslows Mills, a village within the town of Waldoboro.
Alas, most of those canneries are now gone, and though One-Pie is still distributed from West Paris, Maine, it’s made in Illinois. Still, it holds a special place here in New England, where taste and tradition mingle, and a great-looking label doesn’t hurt, either.

The following recipes make the most of this prized New England staple. One — a family recipe from Yankee lifestyle editor Amy Traverso — transforms traditional pumpkin pie filling into a fluffy custard, its texture somewhere between pudding and soufflé. The second is another twist on a familiar favorite: pumpkin streusel bar cookies, with a creamy pumpkin center and crumbly top.
We like your pumpkin pie mix but found two cans with very fine grit in it. It was too fine to identify the material. The cans are: k1ef191a 1543 6130. Question: is it glass? Can we eat the pie containing it? Thanks.
I’ve used One Pie for years and just opened a can with moldy contents. The can was intact, no bumps or dings. I tried to find contact information for the company but was unable to find anything. Suggestions?
Hi Meredith. Bummer! As the article implies, there’s not much of an operation behind One Pie anymore! I’d suggest writing to the address on the can, since that’s the only contact info they provide.
Hi, I was brought up in NH and miss the pumpkin pie recipe from the back of the One-Pie pumpkin. Would love to make it for Thanksgiving rather than the one with the evaporated milk. Does anyone have the recipe?
Sorry that this is too late for this year’s Thanksgiving, but here is the pumpkin pie recipe from a One-Pie can, with my personal adaptations notesd. I’ve been using Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin w/ great success.
1 16 oz can pumpkin 1 1/2 cups milk (or 1 12-oz can evaporated milk) (I use 1% milk & it works fine)
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon 2 tablespoons Dark Karo Syrup (original recipe calls for Molasses)
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg 2 Eggs (beaten)
1/2 teaspoon Salt (Scant) 1 1/2 tablespoons Butter or Margarine (melted)
Mix all of the above ingredients thoroughly except the eggs, so the melted butter is cooled. Then add the eggs. I use a wire whisk. Pour into a 10-inch high-sided glass pie pan lined with an uncooked flour & shortening crust. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake at the 450 temperature for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 50 minutes.
Where can I purchase One Pie pumpkin puree? I have looked all around for a can but alas am not able to find one. I live in Brunswick,Maine. Please, I miss this product
Wow. I’ve used their products for years. But today, the squash didn’t quite smell right out of the can, but I baked the pie anyway. It ended up tastin sour almost like there was lemon in it. One small test slice and the rest had to go to compost. Disappointing.
Hi Brenda. As the story indicates, One-Pie can be a difficult brand to track down! If you can’t find it in any of your local grocery stores, websites like Famous Foods offer it for sale online. Good luck!
i HAVE BEEN USING THE ONE-PIE RECIPE FOR 40+ YEARS. FOUND IT IN NJ BACK WHEN I WAS FIRST MARRIED AND IT IS THE ONLY PUMPKIN PIE MY HUSBAND LIKES. CAN’T FIND IT NOW THAT WE LIVE IN NC BUT I JUST BUY CANNED PUMPKIN WITHOUT THE SPICES AND FOLLOW THE ONE-PIE RECIPE. WE LOVE THE RECIPE. THE MOLASSES MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY PUMPKIN PIE WITHOUT IT.
Hello One Pie Loyalists,
I have eated One-Pie Pumkin Pie since I was a child watching at my mom’s side for many years.
I love pumpkin and this pie will always be my favorite. Unfortunately the markets in New Orleans
don’t sell that brand. My question is whether the original One Pie processing and canned ingredients and
receipe is the same as the original. now or if it has changed at all thru the years. The other brands I’ve tried do not have the same texture and deep flavor…the pies now seems more frothy and lighter in taste with other brands…including Libby.
Help..I want my old One-Pie pumpkin pie again.
Thank you,
Priscilla
Growing up in Mass.my mom made your pies ever Thanksgiving but she didn’t just make the pumpkin pie she also made the squash pie from your cans too.I TOTALLY MISS IT!!!! Seen in Maine of course when I lived there but…..I now live in CT. and cannot find the squash cans anywhere.Can you please tell me what grocers you deliver it to here in Ct.Thank you in advance.Patty
P.S. I work at Wal-Mart here in Ct and I’ve asked them too if they had or could find it and all they’ve said is…WHAT?? Squash pie?? LOL!!! All I say to them is…”You are so not from the right parts of New England!!
Hi, I live in CT and have found One Pie pumpkin and squash in Stop and Shop and Price Chopper. It’s the one and only to use for pumpkin pie. Have not made a squash pie but should try one.
This article brings back memories.I worked at the Medomak canning company in Waldoboro in the early 80s.My job was record keeping in the retort room [cooking in the can].
Yes its real pumpkin with no added anything. Its strained and pureed so its ready for the pie. Which is why its offered only for two months of the year. No preservatives, sugars, or fillers. Pumpkin is a squash and is related to Butternut and to Acorn squash. One Pie comes in either a blend called Squash or just Pumpkin called Pumpkin. New Englanders know where to look on the label to find which is which. But you probably would not be able to tell the difference once they end up in a pie.
My dad, ex-husband and I all worked for Medomak Canning Company. The Bird family was great!

I grew up in boston where squash pie was the best part of our thanksgiving and christmas meal! Now I live in Arizona and cant find squash pie canned mix any where. My mom is now 74 and not in the best of health I want to surprise her with a squash pie for thanksgiving I am wanting to know if I can order this on line??? 602-884-3368
I understand what you’re saying Allison. Ever since we left Mass. I’ve had to depend on family to send One Pie Squash pie filling. In fact when I tell people Squash pie is my favorite they look at me like I’m crazy.
I grew up in Bangor, Me. My Mom always used One-Pie Pumpkin. There’s nothing like it. I live in N.C.now. I use Libby (receipe is from the one-pie can) Sure wish I could get my old favorite.
I am from Massachusetts but living in Michigan now. My whole life in MA was with One Pie Squash Pie. It’s the best ever. Living in Michigan they do not carry the product but I buy it online from Famous Foods. Shipping is almost the cost of the can but it’s totally worth it. You would think being Michigan isn’t that far from Illinois they would carry it but they don’t. I also talked to someone at Famous and they said they only make so many cans and that’s it so order early if you are interested. Does not compare to Libby’s at all.
Reading all the ONE PIE comments brought few tears to my eyes. My aunt & uncle Robert & Lois Bickford lived approx. 1/2 mile – within eyesight in their backyard- from the Medomak Canning co. Where One Pie was packaged in the 60’s! Both my grandmothers & Mom used only this brand to make their pumpkin pies. What wonderful N.E. memories were started by these classic desserts around the family holiday table. I am determined to track down a store that provides some One Pie for us deep rooted original Mariners. Thanks uncle Bob for moving within sight in Winslow’s Mills of that One Pie factory!
My only criticism is that they describe the ingredients as “prepared pumpkin”, which could mean that it’s cooked and pureed, or that it might be combined with other ingredients like sugar or corn syrup. I need to know specifically what’s included.
Nostalgia is nice, but if a company sells a product and doesn’t provide any customer service for any reason, beware. When trying to contact the company, I found this site. It won’t help advising them that the hard core peel found in the butternut squash could have broken someone’s tooth if it hadn’t gotten stuck in the food processor blade.
My mother was a consummate and organic cook. Nothing from cans, except for One Pie. My sisters, and I continued to bake with One Pie. It’s as close to making it from fresh pumpkins without all the work. Perhaps I respectfully submit that not having websites, customer service etc etc is what kept the cost to the consumer at affordable levels. Don’t understand how anyone would miss “the hard core peel” in the butternut squash as the squash and/or pumpkin has to be scooped from the can. It’s a superior product, and I miss not being able to purchase One Pie in my area of Massachusetts. Thanks for reading. Winner of several food contests.
Market Basket carries it. My wife was in Market Basket in MA and they had a huge display of squash and pumpkin. It was in its normal spot down the baking aisle.
My mother always used One Pie only and her pie was the best everybody loved it .Other pumpkin pies were to spicey, we still use it today its the BEST !!
I haven’t made a pumpkin pie in years if ever and I am no spring chicken. Went to by the pie filling the other day and threw the store brand in my cart. Then I saw a display of One Pie filling and thought, “Oh my God that’s what my mother used,” and bought it instead. Pie is in the oven right now. The label is the best. Hope the pie is too.
My great grandfather Henry Bird branched off from the John Bird Company in Rockland and built Medomak Canning Company in Winslows Mills/ Waldoboro areas. If anyone ids curious about more history on One-Pie, just email me or look me up! Bob Bird
Dear Bob Bird, I am a descendent of John Bird. While I grew up in the West of the United States (Wyoming and Montanta), I went to college in Maine and now live on the East Coast in Massachusetts. I was told our family owned One Pie and Three Crow (after which a restaurant was named). Anyway, just looking into the history a bit, as I find it fascinating.
Bob, I am wondering if you might have any photos of the Medomak Canning facility from the 1950s. I am a model railroader that models the line through Winslows Mills and would like to build a model of the cannery. I have some photos of the site from 1990 to the present, but aerial photos show that it is considerably different than it was in the 50s. If you have anything that might be useful, please let me know.
For people in Connecticut looking for one pie brand pumpkin or squash, the Highland Park Market chain carries it. I have used both that brand and Libby’s for my pumpkin pie. I don’t know if I could tell the difference between the two. I made a squash pie once.it was good.
I’m 66yrs old, I follow my late grandmothers recipe to make pumpkin bread to give as presents at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have been doing this since 1975.
I used anther popular brand just once because the store was out of One Pie pumpkin all other ingredients was the same. How ever bread was not. The taste, the look, just wasn’t their. Never again did I or will I ever use any other brand again. If store is out I don’t make the bread not worth it. I even shipped One Pie to my son in Colorado, cause he wanted to make the bread and would not use any other brand.
I agree with everyone. I’ve tried using several other brands of either pumpkin or squash, but nothing compares to One Pie. There is something very special about this brand! I live on the North Shore in MA and usually stock up with it at Market Basket.
I just discovered this product on my local grocer’s shelves here in Virginia. I have a great apple pudding cake recipe in which I plan to substitute the pumpkin for the apples. I am also going to develop a recipe for a savory yeast bread (not a quick bread) that will incorporate 1 can of this product in place of most of the liquid.

Hi Tom. We suggest you contact One-Pie directly about the issue with your can, and in the meantime, if it looks suspicious, don’t eat it!

Reny’s in Maine and Shaw’s
Wow. I’ve used their products for years. But today, the squash didn’t quite smell right out of the can, but I baked the pie anyway. It ended up tastin sour almost like there was lemon in it. One small test slice and the rest had to go to compost. Disappointing.
I still have the can if they want the “batch” number
Hi Brenda. As the story indicates, One-Pie can be a difficult brand to track down! If you can’t find it in any of your local grocery stores, websites like Famous Foods offer it for sale online. Good luck!
I just noticed that, in the recipe above, I forgot to include 1/2 teaspoon ginger.
Does One-Pie still make Squash puree for pies?
Hi Ceil. Yes, they do. You can find it right next to the canned pumpkin in supermarkets that carry the One-Pie brand.
i HAVE BEEN USING THE ONE-PIE RECIPE FOR 40+ YEARS. FOUND IT IN NJ BACK WHEN I WAS FIRST MARRIED AND IT IS THE ONLY PUMPKIN PIE MY HUSBAND LIKES.

I live in CT all my life. One-Pie is normally available year round in most grocery stores.
This article brings back memories.I worked at the Medomak canning company in Waldoboro in the early 80s.My job was record keeping in the retort room [cooking in the can].
I wonder if you remember what variety of pumpkin was being used? Also what year did Medomak Canning shut down?
One pie brand filling is the best hands down ever!!
I buy it at Hannaford and Shaws in Rockland..sometimes Reny’s….
Is your pumpkin 100% real pumpkin? I read that Libby’s is a special squash……..
Well actually, I believe pumpkin IS a kind of squash but I know what you are saying.
Yes its real pumpkin with no added anything. Its strained and pureed so its ready for the pie. Which is why its offered only for two months of the year. No preservatives, sugars, or fillers.

Check it out on amazon.com it’s expensive but available.
Stop & Shop in my area does NOT carry One -Pie Squash but Big Y does carry it.
I am from Massachusetts but living in Michigan now. My whole life in MA was with One Pie Squash Pie. It’s the best ever. Living in Michigan they do not carry the product but I buy it online from Famous Foods. Shipping is almost the cost of the can but it’s totally worth it.

Hi Elaine. I am also a transplant from MA to Michigan. Can’t find the split hot dog rolls or Anything Brian pudding either.

Reny’s, a Maine chain, carries One Pie
Amazon.com carries it at premium price though.
Shaw’s has it.
My only criticism is that they describe the ingredients as “prepared pumpkin”, which could mean that it’s cooked and pureed, or that it might be combined with other ingredients like sugar or corn syrup. I need to know specifically what’s included.
Read the ingredients on the label. They have to list all, as per law.
I live in New Mexico but was born and raised in Massachusetts. Am I simply out of luck? I’ve looked everywhere, but no “One Pie”.
I found it on Amazon—though at a very high price, $10 and change for one can shipping is free for Prime though.
Shaw’s carries it.
They have it at market basket for cheap, I can mail you a box haha
