Carrie Morey founded Callie’s
Charleston Biscuits in 2005 with the
goal of making the tender, buttery,
made-by-hand biscuits of her mother
accessible across the country. Touted
by Saveur, Food & Wine, Southern
Living, The New York Times and
Oprah among others, her biscuits
have garnered freezer space in some
of the most coveted retail stores in
America. Using no machinery whatsoever and with only the finest ingredients, Morey and her small team of
bakers are keeping the tradition of
Southern biscuit-making alive.
Morey has appeared on NBC’s Today
Show and QVC and has twice been
profiled by The Food Network’s hit
television show Unwrapped. She was
chosen as one of Martha Stewarts’s
“Dreamers into Doers” in 2008.
In addition to her role as owner at
Callie’s Charleston Biscuits, Morey
operates an incubator, offering baking
space along with mentoring to small
artisan food businesses.
