Monica's Pies
Tuesday, 20 March, 2018
Naples, NY is famous for its grape pies, made from tangy concord grapes. I adore them! So when I visited in autumn, I talked to the region's biggest seller: Monica Schenk, owner of Monica's Pies. Monica shares how she went from stay-at-home mom selling pies at an unmanned roadside stand to national baking sensation. These days Monica's Pies is open year round selling some 60,000 pies each year, but she's as down-to-earth as ever. Meet Monica, owner of Monica's Pies in Naples, New York.

This is the couch where we chatted:) Subscribe to Beyond the Table on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
