Growing up in the Central Valley, Lenore and fellow Three Babes co-founder Anna Derivi-Castellanos met in the third grade and, as teenagers, they baked pies to give away to their friends. Years later, they decided to start a pie-making business together with the goal of supporting local farms. They launched in 2011 with a pie delivery service and a weekly pop-up out at a local café, and later joined the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in 2013. Their pie offerings change seasonally, and all pies are made by hand, a labor-intensive process. Anna stepped away from the business in 2018.
Last year, Lenore also founded nonprofit SF New Deal, which has helped keep the city’s independent restaurants alive while also feeding the vulnerable populations.
You can find Three Babes at CUESA’s Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco on Saturdays or order their pies online at threebabesbakeshop.com.
