Edgemont Crackers, Now Made by Elves!

In 1897, a little company called Green & Green Company started out making crackers and biscuits. Their prize Edgemont Cracker was created in 1921 that became their claim to fame, Cheez-It’s!

During World War I, Green & Green fired up its ovens for the war effort. Their ‘Fighting Bread’ sustained countless soldiers.

Sunshine Biscuit Company finally merged with Keebler Company in 1996. Cheez-it’s still carries the Sunshine Biscuit name. But their crackers are now made by little elves that live in a tree.
