Describe something significant in your company’s history.

When founder Joseph Vona returned from serving in the army in WWII he was looking for a business opportunity when he answered a one and a half by one inch ad in the Frederick News-Post. Perhaps he took it as a good sign when he learned the “business opportunity” for sale was a proven quantity: The Excelsior Sanitary Dairy, the oldest in Frederick, founded in 1894.

What is your advice to a young company?

Be true to the industry.  That was one thing Jodie and Jimmy Vona did.  They believed in Frederick.  Give back to the community.  Treat your employees fair and with respect so they have incentive to stay.


Frederick County is very fortunate to have an amazing business community, especially those that have been in business for over 20 years.  We understand that there are more than 100 legacy businesses in Frederick County, but unfortunately, we were not able to include all these businesses in the Top 50x2.  The businesses included were selected from responses submitted to a business survey.  OED staff verified the responses and then selected the businesses on a first come first serve basis.  If your business would like to be included in future opportunities, please email info@discoverfrederickmd.com.

Some photographs included in the publication were taken pre-COVID.  OED encourages everyone to follow precautionary guidelines set forth by the Frederick County Health Department.
