A Local Pie Company


Handmade. Seasonally Inspired. Homegrown.
The Local Pie Company is the new pie in town. We aim to source the majority of our ingredients locally and make all our pies by hand, just like generations of pie makers before us. We love pies and are excited to bring our tasty creations to Richmond, Va!

Who is The Local Pie Company

In 2012, I was a new mom between jobs trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. Having my son forced me to put a new perspective on my career. His father travelled and I needed to find a new vocation that made leaving my son worthwhile.

This self-reflection began around New Year's when I somewhat innocently resolved to learn how to make pie. Being a new mom, I wanted to bake treats that my son could enjoy. My failure at cakes aside, I had great memories of pies and wanted to give that to my son.

This resolution ignited a passion that may just be a family trait!

My father's parents owned a restaurant in Mathews, Virginia back in the 40s and 50s. There, my Oma served up the best Lemon Meringue pie in the world. While I'm too young to have eaten the pie in their restaurant, my fondest memories of her were when she served us Lemon Meringue pie. When she passed away in 1985 and I vowed to never eat Lemon Meringue Pie again. And I kept that vow. Until 2012. And really, isn't emulating her pies a better way to honor her memory?

In the three years since making my resolution, I have made over 500 pies of all sizes shapes and flavors.

My husband and I decided relocated to Richmond in February 2014 so I could grow my business in the town where I grew up! Plus, our son will have his Oma nearby - though I will be the one making the pies!

Welcome to my Pie Life! I truly look forward to baking for you!
