Forklift Driver (Stand-up)

About Jessie Lord Bakery, LLC

Since 1984, Jessie Lord Bakery has been baking some of the freshest, flakiest homestyle pies in the country. We take great pride in sourcing the high-quality ingredients that go into our pies, from the rich California dairy and eggs that make our cream and meringue pies so luscious, to the perfectly-ripe apples, peaches, cherries, and berries that we mix into our fruit pie fillings.

We pay close attention to every detail of the pie production process, from rolling to crimping, filling to baking, and we’re sticklers for quality control, especially the taste-testing part (we love the taste-testing part). Marrying old-fashioned technique and modern methods, we craft our from-scratch bakery pies with the same care as the ones we bake at home for our family, so that our pies are both deliciously authentic and affordable for your customers.

We offer complete lines of both frozen, unbaked and pre-baked, thaw and sell pies in sizes ranging from 6” to 12” that offer convenience to your in-store bakery. We’re also happy to work with you on private labeling and packaging, as well as fun new custom pie varieties unique to your brand.

It’s an honor to have our pies on your customers' tables, whether they’re enjoying a cozy family supper, get together with great friends, or unforgettable holiday feast.
