About Us
I really found my groove dancing on my Baba's boots. Katie immigrated to Canada when she was 17 and at the time she was a singer in a band. Their music wasn't a big hit in their new country so Katie had to keep the band fed by making pierogies. When I was growing up Katie had a pair of huge brown fur boots that she wore everyday, everywhere (even to bed). When the family got together to celebrate, the table would be filled with freshly made pierogies, home made wine, and many other traditional foods. The band would begin to play their favourite polkas and Katie would whirl me around the room with my little feet placed firmly on those brown furry boots. My love for family, food, and fun times was born. This is the essence of what I strive to capture in our lovingly made pierogies.
An interesting thing happened to me along the way to creating PierogiWorx. I found myself deeply involved with manufacturing. I became engrossed with process, product flexibility, and quality. I realized one day that combining my passion for the beautiful pierogi and my manufacturing know how would be an interesting adventure. PierogiWorx was born.
