MORE OF THE STORY:
In the early part of the 1920s, the call of ? Fresh Pies??get your fresh pies here!? was a welcome greeting as the Table Talk wagon filled with fresh pies was pulled by horses throughout small-town neighborhoods.

From its humble beginnings in Worcester, Massachusetts, Table Talk Pie has been a leader and innovator in the pie industry while maintaining its small town baker roots. Over the years, Table Talk Pies has grown from a handmade pie baker to a fully automated pie and snack cake bakery.
