COMPANY DESCRIPTION

The Welle Made Co. is a Ghanaian-American micro bakery based in the DC area. We are a small, black immigrant and woman-owned bakery. We are well known for our sublime, savory, artisanal hand pies made with the finest ingredients.

We’re introducing food lovers to our sublime hand pies that are inspired by Ghanaian culture and cuisine. Each pie is carefully hand-crafted, filled with fresh ingredients and robust flavors, and then baked until they are golden brown. Our pastries offer the perfect bite – flaky and buttery on the outside and delectable and juicy on the inside.

We participate in several large-scale markets and festivals in the local area and ship our products nationwide. In 2023, we’re launching our products in retail shops. We're lucky to have been featured in several local and national media like District Fray, E! News, and Buzzfeed.
