About J.M. Smucker

About The J.M. Smucker Company

In the early 19^th century, John Chapman, or “Johnny Appleseed,” wandered the Ohio countryside, sowing apple seeds and securing a place in American history. It was from the fruit of Johnny Appleseed’s trees that Orrville, Ohio, resident Jerome Monroe Smucker first pressed cider at a mill he opened in 1897. Later, he also prepared apple butter, which he sold from the back of a horse-drawn wagon. Each crock bore a hand-signed seal as his personal guarantee of quality.

Much like Johnny Appleseed’s trees, The J.M. Smucker Company has strong roots that have allowed it to grow and prosper for more than 100 years. Today, our products can be found in homes and restaurants throughout the world.

In 1988, the Company began offering its Smucker’s^® fruit spreads in Canada and has since grown to include Folgers^® coffee, Robin Hood^® flour and baking mixes, Five Roses^® flour, Bick’s^® pickles and condiments, and Double Fruit^® fruit spreads, among others.
