It all started with Amos Hoffman in 1899. He was
trustworthy, and his seed was of excellent quality. Today
75 years later Hoffman is still living up to those early
standards. We've grown tremendously, but we haven’t
forgotten that loyal customers are the backbone of our business.
The Hoffman company is made up of hundreds of
individuals each dedicated to, and having a role in,
quality and service. Each one has had a part in making
Hoffman Seeds more successful with each passing year.
But you —as a Hoffman customer have supplied
the biggest reason why we’re still going great guns
after 75 years. You've expressed your satisfaction by coming
back year after year in increasing numbers for Funk's
G-Hybrids ... for Hoffman Formulas ... for Hoffman alfalfas
and a wide range of other seeds.
Thank you for that confidence. We promise no
let-up in our efforts to continue to deserve it.
