After she and her son settled on Buffum Street, they did their best to get by barely making ends meet until one day their neighbors found out that she knew how to make candy so they pitched in together to buy her a barrel of sugar. Mary Spencer found herself and her son shipwrecked and stranded in Salem in what was referred to then as "a rather destitute condition" or what we would probably call today "flat broke" with not much more than the clothes on their backs. Ye Olde Pepper Companie has been a part of Salem ever since a gentlewoman by the name of Mrs. I tell ya, all this chasing history can be a sweet thing sometimes! Before entering the store and walking into what could only be described as Candy Heaven, I peered through the windows into the candy kitchen where I could make out a taffy-pulling machine and also several large kettles that looked like they may have been around since close to 1806 and had probably produced more candy than I could imagine during their time in service! which has been around since 1806 and as such, has the honorable distinction of being America's oldest candy company. 122 Derby Street is the home of Ye Olde Pepper Companie Ltd.
