Peter Hiebert founded Hiebert Greenhouses in Mountain Lake, Minnesota in the early 1930's. He had been in the produce business and during the depression the changes in agriculture were making things more and more difficult. Peter's brother George ran a hardware store and always had a demand for good tomato plants in the Spring, so George ask Pete to start some for him. Well, Pete had a few more than George could use so he picked up some empty cans from the dump, potted them up, and set out in his Model A Coupe Convertible to a neighboring town. The store manager there took all the plants he had. That simple start lead to a complex wholesale greenhouse operation now on it's third generation. His wife Sarah was always involved and they added a floral shop. As the years passed the family grew as the business grew and everyone was involved. They bought some used greenhouse panes and put them up, they began supplying flowers for weddings and funerals and selling retail and wholesale plants. Sales were difficult at first and some stores had to be convinced to try selling plants. When the truck came to town the merchant got to select what plants he wanted and he was not billed for them unless he sold them. As business spread an opportunity came up in Sioux Falls. A bank had foreclosed on some property and asked Pete to take a look at it. Gay Hiebert and his wife Jeanne moved to Sioux Falls in 1958 to manage that location and they are still there. Shortly after starting in Sioux Falls an acreage was purchased for future expansion which is where we are currently located today. The third generation has separated Hiebert Greenhouses into two entities. Hiebert Greenhouses of Minnesota is still located in Mountain Lake and Hiebert Greenhouses of South Dakota is still located in Sioux Falls. Hiebert Greenhouses of South Dakota ships to 18 states and has 20 acres of greenhouses and their own fleet of trucks with rolling racks. To give you an idea of some numbers, just in petunias we grow over 4, 000, 000 plants and in impatiens we grow over 2, 000, 000. These are the two most popular annuals. We carry a large variety of product focusing on spring bedding plants. Poinsettias, Fall product line and Easter Lilies are our other three crops. It is amazing what happened because of a few tomato plants in tin cans.
