Shortly after the American Revolution, within a colonial residence nestled in Westminster, Massachusetts, the first Master Baker unveiled a batch of warm crackers from the oven, sparking a cherished New England custom. During those early days, the bakery relied on a horse and treadmill for power; dough was meticulously hand-mixed and rolled before being individually stamped into crackers and baked in a wood-fired brick oven. Both locals and passersby alike savored the fresh-baked, hearty essence of these breads and crackers.
While times have progressed, Westminster Bakers maintains certain enduring traditions. Though the treadmill has faded into history and the ovens now operate without wood, the dedication to crafting crackers with precision persists. They remain faithful to the same core, wholesome ingredients utilized by their founding Master Baker nearly two centuries ago—ingredients easily recognizable to all. The baking process retains its deliberate, unhurried pace, resulting in crackers of unmatched deliciousness.
Amidst global transformations, Westminster Bakers remains firmly grounded in tradition. Successors to the original Master Baker have been few, each steadfast in their commitment to the Westminster ethos. Situated in the heart of New England, they steadfastly uphold the revered craft of baking—their way, the right way, the Westminster way. Whether for food service or consumers, Westminster Crackers provide a diverse selection to satisfy all cracker needs. They serve as the ideal accompaniment to soups, chowders, chili, and raw bar seafood in countless restaurants across the nation. With only seven all-natural ingredients, these crackers embody a century-old legacy, firmly believing that history is baked into every batch. The baking process remains deliberate and unhurried, producing crackers that are simply delicious, the Westminster way—the world’s best crackers.
