In 1885, Adolph Herbst (1831-1920) brought his wife, Hannah, and four children from Hungary to a Jewish farm colony in Kansas. He watched two years pass on his pocket watch before disastrous weather drove him to try again, this time resettling in New Jersey. There, the seeds of their labor bore fruit at last, and the resilient family's business took off. Among their commercial tomato clients? The Campbell’s Soup Company. #OurSharedHeritage #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth Celebrate JAHM at JewishAmericanHeritage.org Photo Credit: Pocket watch of Adolph Herbst, ca. 1880s.
