About the Pie
Before Cheryl Rellstab became synonymous with real estate excellence, she was the matriarch of her household, balancing support for her husband’s construction business with the joys and challenges of raising six children. During those early days, her home-baked pies became more than just a means to contribute financially; they became a symbol of her resourcefulness and love for her family.
Her journey into real estate was paved with the same dedication she put into her pies, bartering them for services when times were lean. These pies became so renowned that she even exchanged them for the services of her obstetrician. As her career flourished, the pies remained a sweet staple, a gesture of gratitude towards her clients and a reminder of her humble beginnings.
Today, Cheryl’s pies are a local legend, with clients, friends, and associates all cherishing the opportunity to enjoy a slice of her homestyle baking. These pies are not just desserts; they’re pieces of Cheryl’s heritage and heart, shared generously within the Nevada County community, keeping the spirit of the past alive in every bite.
