West Valley City – The Utah Territory was 16 years away from becoming a state when John R. Winder began selling milk chilled in a deep, cold well.
On Monday, the venerable dairy celebrated its 130th anniversary, making Winder Farms one of Utah’s oldest businesses.
Its success can be seen in the more than 30 trademarks used during the past 13 decades. Each new logo shows how the family has adapted to changing times and lifestyles.
Winder Farms began with horse-drawn wagons whose drivers pulled up at homes to scoop milk from tall cans into customers’ kitchen pans. The company has found relevance in the 21st century by becoming the nation’s fastest-growing online grocer, said Mike Winder, the sixth generation of the family helping run the business.
