Margaret Rudkin began baking whole-wheat bread at her Pepperidge Farm home in Connecticut to nourish a sickly son. Her company became an iconic American brand.
"One of our whimsical ideas was to live a real country life." "I seldom eat candy. But about twice a year I go on a coconut binge." Rudkin soon took the bold step of making a sales pitch in New York City. "Mrs. Rudkin is remembered as dynamic, warm-hearted, imaginative, witty and inspiring." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Pepperidge Farm.
Yes, it’s a real place. The Pepperidge Farm brand today is a powerhouse of the American food industry. It produces many of the nation's most beloved products, from breads and layer cakes to Milano cookies and Goldfish crackers.
