A
Look Back… the
history of
Wells' Dairy.
Wells'
Dairy was founded
by Fred H.
Wells in 1913
upon the purchase
of a horse,
a delivery
wagon, a few
milk cans and
jars and the
goodwill of
the business
from Ray Bowers,
a dairy farmer
in Le Mars,
Iowa - all
for $250. See
why Wells'
Dairy has grown
to become the
largest family
owned and managed
dairy processor
in the United
States.
