Transitioning from tobacco to herbs required alot of hardwork, dedication and perserverance. Within the span of a year, our family moved from growing two or three types of crops, to nearly one hundred, each type requiring special growing conditions. This hard work, combined with our innovative use of old farm equipment, has made our story one that many people like to hear. With this in mind, HLH is proud to present "A Proud History." This section contains a short biography of our family farm and those who work on it, two or three speeches delivered across the country by Tom Benner and a timeline detailing the major events that have shaped our lives here at HLH, from beginning to present day. Cabin Fever is an article written early this year by Deb Benner, describing some of the events going on in our store, as well as sharing a few tidbits from winters past. Lunch Anyone is a short essay written by Deb Benner about the origins of Heritage Line Herbs, and some of the problems she faced getting this business started. The Story of Heritage Line Herbs is an essay written by Melissa Benner, and is filled with her impressions of the business. Tobacco to Tarragon: A History of Our Farm is a biography of our family farming, starting all the way back in 1927 when our ancestors moved to our farm and started a legacy that we are proud to be a part of.
