Zach Achatz of Achatz Handmade Pie Company told Local Business News about the family business’s eight pie shops, including one in Troy, along with pies available fresh or frozen at retail stores like Busch’s. One thing we learned is that Achatz provides beautifully wrapped individual pies for weddings and other events. Look for fall seasonal flavors coming soon!
