December shipping is closed. We’re sorry to say that we are no longer taking December shipping orders; we have hit the maximum number of shipping orders that we can handle (we can email an e-gift card now for shipping orders to be redeemed after Christmas). Over the summer we added more ovens and trained more staff to accommodate thousands of national shipping orders, yet a vastly-increased number of pandemic-fueled orders quickly filled up our schedule. We’ve been encouraging early ordering for months via our website, Facebook and Instagram pages, and our email blasts: sign up for updates here.

How to order for December pickup
To order for pick up at our Marshall, Virginia, store: Starting on Friday evening, November 26, we are consolidating all Marshall pre-ordering for our same-day and December holiday pickup at http://locasaur.com/redtruckmarshall/. Remember that you’ll need to do this via a mobile phone, just as you did for your Thanksgiving orders. Pre-order any time for pickup on Thursday through Sunday, and for the entire week preceding Christmas. For Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, or any other day for that matter, just come on in and we’ll try to stay as well-stocked as possible. We no longer are taking Thanksgiving pre-orders, but we will have pies and cakes on a first-come, first-served basis while quantities last. For any problems pre-ordering, either message us through Locasaur or call the store and we’ll help you out.
To order for pick up at our Warrenton, Virginia, store: For pickup in Warrenton, use your mobile device/cell phone and log on to http://locasaur.com/redtruckwarrenton/. Starting on Friday evening, November 26, we’ll quickly change over to Christmas ordering at http://locasaur.com/redtruckwarrenton/ (remember that you’ll need to do this via a mobile phone). We no longer are taking Thanksgiving pre-orders, but we will have pies and cakes on a first-come, first-served basis while quantities last.

You can’t fence us in: With Main Street construction underway (utility lines are going underground and new brick sidewalks being installed), we have this gorgeous new fence in front of the store. Rest assured that our front door is open for you, and we have plenty of parking in our rear parking lot. Occasionally, access to our parking lot will be blocked; in that case, follow this map up and around 7-Eleven, left on Rectortown Road, left on Salem Avenue, left on Frost Street, and you’ll be at our spacious rear parking lot. We’re waiting for you.

~ Things to know about our reopening ~
Masks: Masks are required, whether or not you are vaccinated. Our staff continues to wear masks, and we ask that you do, also. Thank you.
Seating: We will have limited seating inside both stores for the time being. Both stores have outdoor seating. Now that we are fully open inside, we have closed our walk-up side window. Restrooms are available again.
Occupancy: We won’t limit the number of customers in the store unless things get crowded. At that point, we may ask you to wait just a bit until things calm down. Now that we are fully opened inside, we have closed our side window.
Credit cards, not cash: We’d prefer to continue our policy of accepting credit and debit cards (we now have Apple Pay), and not cash. We’ll help you if you’re caught without plastic; please know that we are not currently carrying change.
Store hours: We’ll stick with opening at 8 am at both stores for now. The Marshall store will be open every day from 8 am to 5 pm; now that we are fully opened inside, we have closed our side window. The Warrenton store will be open from 8 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and is closed on Sundays.
We love pre-orders. See our December pickup pre-ordering update at the top of this page.
Shipping nationwide: We have reached capacity for shipping through Christmas; we'll resume taking orders in January. We bake a large list of items. Visit redtruckbakery.com for the complete selection of baked goods that we are able to safely ship (fruit pies don't ship well). Please allow at least one extra day for arrival, allowing for any possible UPS delivery delays due to increased demand and/or weather issues. We are unable to offer any refunds due to any UPS or weather delays. Do not choose Friday as a delivery day; please choose a Wednesday or Thursday as the delivery day if the item is needed for a Friday or a weekend.
Our main location in Marshall: 8368 W. Main Street, Marshall VA, 540-364-2253. Open every day from 8 am to 5 pm. Both stores will close at 4 pm on Wednesday, November 24 and will remain closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday, November 26.

It’s wondrous to read these words in print: “The South’s Best Bakeries.” Loafing on my grandmother’s sofa in North Carolina fifty years ago, I was captivated by Southern Living—a newly-launched publication we didn’t see in California. I’m sure it helped inspired me to eventually open a rural bakery, and it’s thanks to my hard-working team and our loyal customers that these accolades brought it full circle.

We offer two types of gift cards (please note that they are not interchangeble)
1) To purchase an e-gift card for use for nationwide shipping only (not for redemption in our stores), click here. We’ll quickly email it to you or your recipient.
2) To purchase a reloadable gift card to be used in person at our two Virginia stores only (not for redemption for online shipping orders), simply call our bakery.

We’re a rural bakery born in a farmhouse in the Virginia Piedmont hunt country 50 miles west of Washington, D.C., and we’re named after the truck we bought from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. We ship thousands of items nationwide each year: Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine says we’re one of their favorite food sites, Travel + Leisure says we’re one of the best small-town bakeries in America and Condé Nast Traveler named us one of “America’s 13 Sweetest Bakery Destinations.” Even former President Obama has saluted our bakery's story and our pies. Our favorite accolades are from our customers—come see for yourself. Did we mention our moonshine cakes with hooch from the next county?

We ship nationwide from our little rural Virginia bakery. When you order online for shipping Red Truck baked goods nationwide, you'll be redirected to Goldbelly. which simply handles the processing of our orders (rest assured that everything is baked—and shipped—by us right here in Marshall, Virginia). If you have any problems ordering, please contact us via email at Brian@RedTruckBakery.com. Please allow at least one extra day for arrival, allowing for any possible UPS delivery delays due to increased demand and/or weather issues. Do not choose Friday as a delivery day, as it will most likely be delayed until Monday. We suggest always opting for UPS Second Day Air or UPS Next Day Air; UPS Ground deliveries are the most likely to be set aside when the trucks are full. We are unable to offer any refunds due to any UPS or weather delays. Send us a note here.
Please allow an additional day for delivery when shipping. If your order is needed on a Friday or Saturday, choose a Thursday arrival date. With shipping delays now more frequent, we can’t stress this enough.

We fell in love with Lexington, Kentucky, and were inspired to make our Lexington bourbon cake with fresh ginger. It’s gorgeous and delicious, and we’ll ship this beauty anywhere in the United States here.
