Sally Gerber

Sally Gerber

Sally Gerber (born 1927 in Fremont, Michigan), is the daughter of Daniel Frank Gerber who established the baby food enterprise Gerber Products Company.

Sally Gerber was ill as a baby, and when she was seven months old, her doctor recommended a diet of fruits and vegetables which her mother prepared for her daily. Her mother Dorothy soon grew tired of hand-straining fruits and vegetables every day. She turned to her husband, Daniel Frank Gerber, owner of the Fremont Canning Company for help. Eighty years later, the Gerber Products Company is the largest maker of baby food and other products for infants in the United States.

Gerber began answering many letters from customers when she was barely 10 years old, and continued to do so even when she became a company vice president.
