About Pepperidge Farm

Pepperidge Farm was founded in 1937 by Margaret Rudkin, who began baking stone-ground wholemeal bread for a son with asthma and was selling to New York grocers within a year. Campbell's acquired it in 1961, and it now spans bread, biscuits and the fish-shaped Goldfish crackers.
