Mom's Apple Pie

On the edge of an eight acre Apple Orchard at 4550 Gravenstein Hwy. North, in Sebastopol, sits Mom's Apple Pie. Since starting business in 1983, Betty Carr "Mom" has seen some changes occur at her little pie shop. Mom began selling apple pies at the urging of her late husband, Harry, to supplement income from their Sonoma County apple orchard and roadside stand. In the beginning, Mom would bake and sell one Apple Pie per day. Now she offers a variety of 16 fruit and cream pies, and sells many more a day. However, one thing hasn't changed - Mom's Homemade quality. Mom uses natural ingredients (no trans fat) and prepares each pie by hand. Most recently, Mom has renovated and expanded her little pie shop to include a café that serves a lunch menu that includes soup, chili, sandwiches and salads, creating a pleasant atmosphere both inside and out, boasting views of vineyards and apple orchards along the scenic Gravenstein Highway.
