History

Mrs. Margaret Rudkin began baking bread in 1937 for her youngest son Mark who had asthma and was allergic to most commercially processed foods. She home-baked bread that her allergic son could eat. Her son's doctor recommended it to his other patients and encouraged her to bake more bread. She approached Frederick Marschall, owner of Marschall's grocery stores based in Stamford, Connecticut, to see if he would be willing to sell her bread. After tasting a piece, he took all the loaves she had brought with her and placed an order for more. Margaret's husband Henry, began taking loaves of bread with him to be sold in stores. In 1947, Margaret opened a modern commercial bakery .

On a trip to Europe in the 1950s, Rudkin discovered fancy chocolate cookies that she believed would be popular in the United States. Her first cookbook was published in 1963.

Products

Pepperidge Farm products include Goldfish crackers, varieties of bread, and several lines of cookies. Their cookies are separated into two lines, the Distinctive line and the Old Fashioned line. The Distinctive line has a European aesthetic, with each type of cookie named for a European city such as the Milano cookie or the Brussels cookie. In contrast, the Old Fashioned line emphasizes traditional-style cookies like oatmeal raisin and shortbread.

Pepperidge Farm also distributes Tim Tams in the US, manufactured by Arnott's Biscuits, another Campbell's subsidiary in Australia, and Pirouettes, made in Indonesia.
