Company description

ABOUT THREE BABES BAKESHOP:

Three Babes Bakeshop is a pie business founded by best friends Anna Derivi-Castellanos and Lenore Estrada in 2011. We hail from California's Central Valley, and we are proud to feature all of the fine bounty that grows there! We make our pies by hand with the highest quality organic and local ingredients, and work to bring more awareness to the issues at play in working class and farming communities across America. We have a commercial kitchen in San Francisco’s Bayview Neighborhood and sell our pies for pickup and delivery in San Francisco seven days a week, at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market every Saturday, and via select wholesale accounts throughout the Bay Area. We ship our nut pies nationally and are particularly busy during the fall for Thanksgiving, and during February/March for Pi Day.
