Our Story
Our History
Voortman Bakery began in 1951 in Hamilton, Ontario, when William and Harry Voortman started a business baking cookies. Drawing on skills passed down through their multi-generational baking heritage, they used only real and natural ingredients, and sold their cookies directly to one grocery store at a time.
