  • History

    GOOD EARTH has been in business since 1958. It originally began as GHB Nurseries – a retail business – accelerated to GHB Enterprises, a distributor of lawn and garden products and finally, GOOD EARTH Horticulture, Inc. which is a producer and distributor of horticultural products.

    In 1999, GOOD EARTH acquired the A.H. Hoffman company located in Lancaster, PA. GOOD EARTH continues to produce and develop the Hoffman line of garden products.

    Besides our professional mixes, Good Earth also produces topsoils, potting soils, specialty soil mixes, manures, stone products, fertilizers and more for retail and commercial growing. With the environment in mind, GOOD EARTH also offers a large selection of organic products.

    GOOD EARTH’s corporate offices and warehouse are located on a main Hwy - US 20 - in the Town of Lancaster, NY. Facilities include
    a new warehouse and office building.

    GOOD EARTH Canada Limited is a sister company of GOOD EARTH Organics. It operates a large, modern Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss bog and packaging facility in New Brunswick, Canada. The peat moss bog consists of over 5,000 acres of this naturally occurring resource. All of its products produced are exported to the U.S. or other overseas markets including Japan and Puerto Rico.
