Our Story
Founded in 1929 when Ellis Huntsinger started growing horseradish & other vegetable crops on a few acres of land near a fresh water spring south of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Huntsinger Farms now grows corn, soybeans, wild rice, horseradish & forage crops on over 7,000 acres of prime Wisconsin & Minnesota farmland.
In the early days, Ellis prepared & bottled the horseradish by hand in an old milk shed behind his house and sold it it locally to help augment his income during Wisconsin’s long cold winter months.
Prepared horseradish is traditionally ground & mixed with vinegar as a natural preservative since the fresh root, once washed and grated, would otherwise soon turn dark & lose its characteristic bite. Refrigeration is also necessary in order to keep prepared horseradish white in color & to retain its sharp flavor.
Ellis Huntsinger discovered that the addition of fresh sweet dairy cream helped further enhance the flavor, heat & longevity of prepared horseradish. This discovery helped him expand his horseradish sales to markets throughout the United States. Today, Silver Spring horseradish is the number one retail brand in the United States.
Currently owned by Ellis Huntsinger’s granddaughter & her two sons, the company has been family owned & operated for over 90 years & through four generations.
