York, Pa., can trace its beginnings back to 1741, when settlers from the Philadelphia region founded the city. And Rutter’s Dairy — which is based in this area — has an origin story that goes back almost as far.
In 1747, Andrew Rutter was deeded 167 acres in York County, Pa., by Springetts Penn (the great-grandson of William Penn), the company says. This began the Rutter family’s farm operations.
