The following are a few questions I received from a student in Colorado. I hope these can be helpful to others as well:
You never really explained the process of making horseradish. Can you specify the method used for making your various sauces and give an ingredients list for each?
Unfortunately I don’t think sharing this information would be in our best interest. Suffice it to say that all the horseradish used in our products is cleaned, grated, and prepared by hand. All of our products are prepared in small batches by hand.
How did the horseradish making begin?
The business was started 5 generations ago by the father of my grandfather’s uncle in Germany.
Do you have any other businesses?
No
Have you had any other logos? (such as some you might have had when you first began)
No
Do you have any old photos of the original Long who began the business?
No
Do you grow your own horseradish?
We no longer grow our own horseradish.
Is Long’s organic?
No
Do you know where I can get a picture of an entire horseradish plant – including the above ground part?
I don’t have any. However, you may want to try searching the images available online from the Library of Congress.
Any old pictures of the original packaging, if it was glass or other?
Our products have always been packaged in glass jars with either a metal or plastic lid. We do not have any pictures available of the original packaging.
