A Family Tradition Since 1931
Hammond's Old-Fashioned Pretzel Bakery opened its doors in 1931 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Today, it proudly stands as the longest continuously operating family-run sourdough pretzel bakery in America.
That heritage is baked into every batch of sourdough pretzels. Unlike mass-produced snacks, Hammond's pretzel bakers still rely on time-tested methods that prioritize flavor and texture.
Each batch of handmade sourdough pretzels is:
- Hand rolled, twisted, and salted
- Sourdough matures in wooden barrels
- Baked by fire in a soapstone hearth
This process is what gives Hammond's pretzels their distinctive airy bite and crisp finish.
