Table Talk Pies, Inc. is a growing, family-owned business that has been making fresh baked pies in Worcester since 1924. Our mission has always been the same—to manufacture the highest quality baked pie in the United States. From our humble beginnings with two men hand-making pies to having three automated bakeries, quality was and continues to be our most important product. AT A GLANCE P R O D U C T S : Using the finest wholesome ingredients, our skilled team follows in the footsteps of the traditional pie craftsmen that founded our company almost 100 years ago. We specialize in making 4-inch snack pies—selling over 4 million a week—in a variety of flavors. We also make larger—6, 8, 9, and 10-inch—dessert pies. These are sold in the Table Talk, Old Fashioned, and private label packaging.

E N V I R O N M E N TA L AWA R E N E S S : We lower our carbon footprint by procuring our ingredients—from local farmers when possible—and delivering our pies in as few freight miles as possible. We use recyclable materials in our packaging and streamline production to ensure the least amount of waste possible. Jeff came to work for Table Talk Pies as an Oven Attendant, checking the quality of the pies as they entered the oven. As he watched them, he wanted to know more about how they were made and he had some recipe ideas of his own. He took every opportunity to learn more—asking questions, offering help, and taking on new responsibilities whenever possible. Through this on-the- job training, additional education, his perseverance and hard work, he now manages our Research and Development department, responsible for creating all new flavors and perfecting our traditional ones. www.tabletalkpie.com/ Facebook: https://www. facebook.com/TableTalkPies/ Address: 120 Washington Street, Worcester, MA, 01610 P: (508) 798-8811 Full-time employees: 329 "Table Talk Pies recognizes those who work hard and allows them to grow with the company—they also genuinely care about employees on a personal level."
