Today, The Pie Safe is known far and wide. A couple of my siblings own and operate it, along with plenty of friends and family.

My older brother John, one of the owners, takes the entire crew (~20 folks) on special trips twice a year. Summer and winter. This is one example of how he treats the staff as genuine family—not just as a business cliche.
