The Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. is pleased to announce that they have purchased the Harvest Pie Company - an established local business with a successful history of marketing frozen pies, fillings and fruit spreads throughout Saskatchewan.
The company produces 8" frozen pies in four flavours - Saskatoon, Wild Blueberry, Rhubarb and Apple, as well as 250 ml fruit spreads in Saskatoon, Wild Blueberry, Strawberry/Rhubarb and Apple Chutney flavours.
The purchase was made possible through the support of Community Futures Sunrise and their Entrepreneurs with Disabilities program. "Community Futures Sunrise provides loans, advice and support to the business community in the southeast SK region. We were very pleased to work with the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop and provide loan funds to assist with the purchase of the Harvest Pie Company. It was a great project to be involved with, and a perfect fit for our Entrepreneurs with Disabilities loan funds," comments Vema O'Neill, General Manager of Community Futures Sunrise. "We look forward to Harvest Pie Company continuing to produce and sell those tasty pies and fruit products!"
“We were delighted to be able to partner with our local Community Futures office to expand employment opportunities for the individuals with intellectual disabilities that we support," stated Andria Brady, Executive Director. "Our mandate has always been to empower individuals by meeting their needs for employment, community participation and inclusion. This new opportunity will provide an innovative and rewarding approach in generating revenue to retum directly to the individuals doing the work. "
Harvest Pie Company products can be found at several locations in Weyburn and throughout the province. The business is operating from a temporary location currently and will be moving to the new Day Program Building at 1800 Ebel Road once construction is complete later this spring.
