Meet the Grower
J.R. Kelly Company was founded in 1933 by Mr. J. R. Kelly. It was situated on produce row in St. Louis, Missouri, to market horseradish roots for the area growers. In 1974 a group of local growers purchased the company after the death of Mr. Kelly.
J.R. Kelly Company is located in the heart of horseradish country in Collinsville, Illinois, just 15 miles from St. Louis, Missouri. The site on which J.R. Kelly Company is located consists of 10 acres of property with 10,000 square feet of cooler space and 6,000 square feet of warehouse space.
The fertile soil creates the ideal environment for the production of high quality horseradish. They market ten to twelve million pounds of horseradish roots a year, making them the largest supplier of horseradish roots in the United States. Not only do they supply horseradish roots domestically but internationally as well, shipping tons of horseradish roots to all corners of the globe.
J.R. Kelly offers two different grades of horseradish roots, grade no. 1 and grade no. 2, for consumer purchase as well as our famous Kelly's Pride Sampler Pack. Their state-of-the-art cooler warehouses allow them to store and ship all our fresh horseradish roots all year round.
