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.
Margaret Rudkin was a force of nature on the farm, in the bakery and in the boardroom. You may not know her name. But you’ve certainly enjoyed delicious breads and snacks inspired by her idyllic Connecticut estate. 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.
The Goldfish brand has carved out a special place in American culture,' boasted Campbell’s chief marketing officer Janda Lukin. From Pepperidge Farm to Paris Rudkin died at Yale-New Haven Hospital on June 1, 1967, after suffering from breast cancer. She was 69 years old. Her husband had passed away a year earlier. She had grown into a titan of American industry — all of it after teaching herself at age 40 to bake bread for her three children.
