Pennsylvania products have earned a worldwide reputation for quality. In 2004 the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture created the PA Preferred Program to promote locally grown and/or produced products. The PA Preferred logo identifies locally sourced products. When purchasing products with the PA Preferred logo, consumers will know that they have found foods grown and processed under some of the world’s most stringent food safety standards. Bachman is proud to display the PA Preferred logo on their updated product packaging, and Bachman products are proudly displayed in PA Preferred school vending machines and specially designed grocery store racks. Additional information on the PA Preferred Program can be found by clicking on the logo at the right.

Partnership with Autism Speaks to Promote Autism Awareness In early 2007, Bachman formed a partnership with Autism Speaks, the largest non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of autism and raising money for research. Bachman launched an awareness campaign with the placement of autism information stickers on the bags of their most popular pretzels and snacks. In 2008 the new Puzzle Pretzel was created to help reach millions of parents to continue to promote awareness of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The Puzzle Pretzel shape mirrors shape of the Autism Speaks puzzle piece, and five percent of the proceeds from the sales of the Puzzle Pretzel will go to Autism Speaks. Bachman also donates product to fund-raising walks in the Northeast region.
“Over the past decade an alarming number of families have been silently struggling to understand these disorders. Autism Speaks has given them a voice, and a community, but most of all real hope,” said Scott Carpenter, President of the Bachman Company.
