What an amazing response to our contest today. 387 guesses on our pie and cheesecake inventory with 1 winner!! But before I announce the winner, I thought I would give a little bit of trivia about one of the Coolest Things Made in Kansas/Coffey County. We stay very quiet in our little spot in New Strawn, just making pies and cheesecakes. Looking at the responses, it is obvious people really don't know what we do and the impact we make across Kansas and neighboring states. Hometown Pie Company employs 9 people currently. We wholesale the majority of our products, which includes selling to EVCO Foods which distributes them as well. We deliver 2 days per week minimum and more days in the fall. Another means of distribution is through Fundraisers. Our pies help kids travel for school, buy school supplies, after school programs, baseball teams, churches, 4-H kids, childcare facilities and many more. It is very humbling to know the difference we make for so many. This would not be possible without the great help that I have. They are troopers and last year we were shy of making 40,000 pies and cheesecakes. They come in and play "pie shop" and have fun doing it listening to a little BBQ to step up the pace. I want to thank them and thank my husband Chad for being there!! I want to thank each and everyone of you that purchases our products supporting us and many other great businesses!! Much love to all!!
Our inventory was 5,595 and unless I missed someone Lucy Berry is our winner as she guessed 3,582!!
