History

In 1863, the Winder family built the first Winder farm at 2700 South and 300 East in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1880, the Winders business, known then as Winder Dairy, began delivering milk.[2][3] Glass bottles of "Rich Jersey Milk" were introduced in 1907. The price of a quart of Winder milk in 1918 was 18 cents.

The family switched from horses to a Ford Model T truck in 1915, but when its tires frequently burst, the Winders went back to horse deliveries until 1928. In 1931, the farm moved from Salt Lake City to its present location at 4400 W. 4100 South. The family started its bakery operation in 1958, when glass bottles were replaced with poly carbonate containers.

Expansion

In 2006, Winder Farms expanded into Las Vegas and Mesquite, Nevada. In 2013, Winder Farms acquired Santa Ana-based Rockview Farms grocery home delivery service for an undisclosed price.[4]

Place in industry

While Winder Farms began as a traditional milkman, similar to Oberweis Dairy, its expansion into categories beyond dairy, along with its shift to orders primarily made online, place it more in the online grocer industry.[5] It was later discontinued.
