Update as of 10/9:
So much has happened in the last two weeks, and while staying busy had been a positive, we wanted to take time to share an update. Mainly due to extensive smoke damage it has become apparent that the restoration of the shop will take much longer than we would have hoped. It is with a heavy heart that we must share that our wish to be open for Thanksgiving will not be possible.
While many dear fellow-food industry friends have generously offered up their spaces (and their hearts), we have decided to be completely candid about this -we will already be too far behind in the pre-pie process to move forward with renting a kitchen. To find a place large enough with full availability, regulate licensing, test in foreign ovens, work with insurance, and have enough time to take orders and build crust supply will be nearly impossible.
When it comes down to it, the shop itself, the brick and mortar of our building, has been fine tuned to produce the quality pie we commit to making, and the open and welcoming space we choose to serve and love each of you in. We will just have to trust the process right now. Take each day to focus on what we can do and pray insurance takes care of what it can.
We have done hard things before. We can do it again! In brighter news, we DO have plans to stay connected and pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. In the coming weeks we will be sharing online pie-demos, Year of Pie subscriptions, baking e-books for purchase, and much more. If we cannot physically place a pie on your table this holiday we will find another way to bring joy and special memories to your homes.
We appreciate your unwavering support and patience during this time. As always we are beyond blessed with our pie community, near and far.
Eat pie, love life.
Ellie and Linda ❤️
