Ellis Huntsinger founded Huntsinger Farms, Inc. and its subsidiary Silver Spring Gardens, Inc. in 1929 when he started growing horseradish and other vegetable crops on a few acres of land near a fresh water spring south of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. In the early days, Ellis prepared and bottled horseradish by hand in an old milk shed behind his house and sold it locally to help augment his income during Wisconsin’s cold winter months.
