About
Marsha’s Homemade Buckeyes is a family owned business that was established in 1984. Marsha wanted to earn some money but wanted to stay at home and raise her 3 children. She always made candy buckeyes during the holidays using a home recipe that she obtained from her mother-in-law. Everybody loved them so she decided to make some buckeyes and sell them at a garage sale. They sold really well and the rest is history. That was the start of Marsha’s Homemade Buckeyes.
Marsha’s first commercial account was the Kazmaier’s Grocery Store in Perrysburg. She then took her buckeyes to a general store in Maumee, Ohio, The Andersons General Store. The Andersons only had one store at the time but they are a growing company. Every time they opened a new store, Marsha’s business also increased. They now have seven stores.
Marsha operated her business out of her home for the first 14 years. In 1999, she received a letter from the home office for Cracker Barrel Stores in Lebanan, Tennessee. They advised her that the local Cracker Barrel Store in Perrysburg had told them about her product and they were interested in carrying her product in their Cracker Barrel Stores. There was no way that she could supply all of the Cracker Barrel Stores at that time. Cracker Barrel said she could just supply the Ohio stores initially. They would add additional stores as she was able to increase production until she was able to supply all of their stores. Cracker Barrel currently has over 550 stores in the United States and all of them now carry Marsha’s Homemade Buckeyes.
Marsha’s Homemade Buckeyes now is in its 24th year of business. After 24 years, we have changed some of the methods used to make the candy buckeyes but the original homemade recipe and taste remains the same. Marsha’s main goal has always been to make a high quality homemade candy at an affordable price.
If you have not had the opportunity to try our buckeyes, we hope that this web site will provide the information needed for you to have that opportunity. We trust that you will enjoy them as much as our current customers.
