From Hardship to Homemade: A Mother-Daughter Pie Dream

After weathering a storm of personal and professional turmoil, a spirited mother-daughter duo from Pompano Beach, Florida, decided it was time for a fresh start. With little more than a dream and unshakable faith, they packed up their lives and moved to North Carolina, chasing a vision that would soon become something far sweeter than they ever imagined.

Antoinique Owens, a determined young leader serving in the U.S. Army Reserves, saw an opportunity to turn hardship into hope when her mother, Sarah Grissett, lost her job. It was a painful moment—but also a turning point. Antoinique knew her mother had a gift in the kitchen, a special magic in her hands that could turn flour, fruit, and love into something unforgettable.

With courage and prayer as their foundation, they launched a humble pie business from their home kitchen, committed to sharing Sarah’s signature flavors—and her story—with their new North Carolina community and beyond. Sarah, now 63, had spent a lifetime putting others first, never imagining that her golden years would be the moment she stepped into her own purpose. But with her daughter’s unwavering belief in her and a dash of divine timing, she finally embraced the calling she had long tucked away.

Their goal? To spread “Mama’s love in every bite” across the country and grow their passion into a million-dollar pie brand through online orders. But more than profits, their mission is about inspiration—showing the world that it's never too late to follow your dreams, especially when you're baking them side by side with someone who believes in you.
