It has been owned by the National Grape Cooperative Association, a co-op of grape growers, since 1956.[1][2] Welch's is particularly known for its grape juices, jams and jellies made from dark Concord grapes[3] and its white Niagara grape juice. The company also manufactures and markets an array of other products, including refrigerated juices, frozen and shelf-stable concentrates, organic grape juice, fruit snacks, and dried fruit.
