Schultz Honey Farms glass honey jar with lid.Context
Originally founded by Arthur John “Honey” Schultz (1884-1970) in 1901, he grew this to one of the largest honey processing businesses in Wisconsin. Retiring in 1945, he passed the honey farm on to his son in-law, John Mills.
In the early 1960s, three brothers by the last name Schmitz purchased the Schultz Honey Farm from Mills — they were Dennis, Eldon and Leonard Schmitz. And so, the Schmitz brothers owned and operated the Schultz Honey Farm until it closed in the mid-1990s.Acquisition
