Our Story

Seven Generations of Tradition

In our Family, the same phrase has rung true through the years, “Farm First”.

We pride ourselves on the multi-generational establishment that has been diversified almost every decade. Diversification has always been an important strategy for us, and has helped keep business consistent on an annual basis so that we became less seasonal with each new venture. Each strategy has been rooted in farming. How can we add value to each crop grown? What other products can we make from the fruits, vegetables, grains, and other ingredients that we grow? How can we build an experience around the farm for our customers to learn, celebrate, and make memories the same way our family has been able to do for generations? A strategy of farm diversification through business and family does not happen overnight though. It has taken time, patience, passion, and well-executed planning to be successful.

The biggest challenge faced in the process of diversification is maintaining a standard of quality that we have established through our hard work. We are constantly ensuring that the pace of growth through diversifaction is able to maintain our renowned quality, whether it be the loaf of bread from our bakery, the pumpkin picked from the vine, the taste of Heritage in our wine, or the scoop of ice cream bursting with berry goodness.

To us, the most enjoyable part about being in our business is the focus on families, traditions, memories made and shared, and heritage. Knowing that families and friends are enjoying our crafts the same way we do, is a true testament to our values.

Celebrating our Roots

In 1843 our ancestor Simon Huber emigrated from Baden-Baden, Germany, to our small hometown of Starlight, IN. He brought not only his family with him, but also his years of experience in fruit growing and wine-making. He settled on the original 80-acre tract of Huber land, which is now over 700 acres today. Simon’s vision has perpetuated over the past 180+ years, with his and Gertrude’s descendents living and working sustainably on the farm to the 7th generation now.

Today, we have a multitude of activities for any age, or as we like to say: the young and the young-at-heart. Activities range from plucking a ripe & juicy strawberry in the field, to a stop in the tasting loft to try our award winning wines & spirits, to letting your child (or maybe inner-child) run free in the Family Farm Park. No trip to Huber’s is complete without a giant scoop of our homemade ice cream, and grabbing some fresh baked bread for your dinner table, paired with your favorite Huber Wine to share with loved ones. You are guaranteed to make your new favorite memories at Huber’s, because we are positioned to delight Grandma and her Granddaughter, just as much as your first day-date, and all those in between.
