INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR
By Jacqui Chaisson
A bridie or Forfar bridie is a Scottish savoury meat pastry that originates from Forfar, Scotland; but on Prince Edward Island it's simply known as the handpie. Sarah Bennetto O'Brien is the owner and chef at The Handpie Company located at the Gateway Village on the Island side of the Confederation Bridge in Borden-Carleton. Sarah sources all of her ingredients for the savoury meat pastries from local organic farmers and producers such as Barnyard Organics; Sheldon MacQuarrie and his herd of free- range highland cows; the fantastic local farms of Plate It, Soleil's Farm; Brian and Kathy of Crystal Green Organics; Chad Ceretti - butcher and owner of Ceretti's Grocery in Borden- Carleton and so many more. The Handpie Company is open year-round, and offers their signature handheld personal pies fresh, hot and ready to eat or frozen to enjoy at home or the cottage. Sarah may have gotten the idea for the handpie from the Outlander book series, but she's certainly made The Handpie Company an Island favourite.
