At the heart of Welch`s are 1,000 family farmers who make everything possible. Each and every farmer is a grape growing expert, who takes great pride in the vineyards they`ve cultivated for generations. It`s our farmer`s dedication to growing the best Concord and Niagara grapes that`s allowed us to provide families with the delicious juices, jams and jellies they`ve loved for years. Our story began over 140 years ago, when Thomas Bramwell Welch decided to serve grape juice instead of wine at his church. Welch was the first to pasteurize bottled fruit juice using Concord grapes, paving the way for a future industry. After its debut at the Chicago World`s Fair in 1893, Welch`s Grape Juice went on to become the national family favorite it is today. A single glass of Welch`s can stir up memories from the past or help create new ones. At Welch`s, we believe in the power of getting together - even if it`s just a few minutes to connect over a glass of juice or a sandwich. We want to help you enjoy life`s every day moments and share what`s good.

The Lifeway Foods story begins in 1986 with kefir, a milk-based cultured drink that is popular in Eastern Europe and is said to be more nutritional than yogurt. That year, Russian immigrant Michael Smolyansky began manufacturing kefir in his basement to bring the taste of his native country to the U.S. After Michael Smolyansky passed away in 2002, his daughter Julie Smolyansky assumed the role of President, while his son Edward Smolyansky assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Today, Lifeway is the country`s leading manufacturer of kefir, with multiple flavors and varieties that include lowfat, whole milk and organic versions as well as a children`s line, and a provider of other probiotic natural and organic dairy products for health-conscious consumers.
