1950

Ye Olde Pepper Company is currently our longest continuously running vendor  that is still with us at the Topsfield Fair to date. Originally known as Burkies Fudge, Myrtle and George Burkinshaw began by selling Fudge at the Topsfield Fair. A few years went by and they expanded and changed their name to Ye Olde Pepper Company. The company has been in the family for over 60 years now. Robert Burkinshaw eventually took over for his parents and today his daughter Jackie continues the tradition and they still continue to have a booth at the Topsfield Fair!
