Hilltop Gardens planted its first aloe plant in 1939 and is one of the first commercial aloe farms in the country and is considered the historic home of aloe in the United States. The farm is 720 acres dedicated to testing and developing agricultural practices used by the company’s farms worldwide. In 2011, the farming operation was certified organic by USDA NOP (US Department of Agriculture National Organic Program). A program consisting of soil building with cover crops, crop rotation and organic fertilizers nourish and rebuild the fields in preparation for a variety of seasonal production crops. 

In 2011, the farm operation at Hilltop Gardens was certified organic under the USDA NOP and was also certified for Global GAP (Good Agricultural Practices). They continue to develop procedures for growing organic ingredients with aloe being the primary crop. As the crop list expands into vegetables, herbs, and other non-traditional crops, the farm crew is at the forefront of farming technology. This will allow us to test this technology and see if it would be a great fit to adapt at the other Aloe farms around the world.

AloeCorp was founded in 1988 to manage and oversee Aloe Vera farms and has become the world’s largest grower and processor of aloe vera. Yun-Ho Lee, the late founder and chairperson, was introduced to the miraculous benefits of the aloe plant which he used to aid in his fight against chronic illness. To further his research in the early 1970's, Mr. Lee developed three-acres of land with greenhouses to allow his research to change the perception and appreciation of high quality, all natural supplements. He quickly became well-known in Korea as a pioneer in the cultivation and growth of aloe.  

Today, Aloecorp utilizes the traditional growing methods and processes to provide you with the best aloe possible. They take every precaution to maintain healthy fields, land, and soil to provide the utmost care for the farms that provide our ingredients. They hand-harvest our aloe and control every step of the process that begins with the farms. Aloecorp’s aloe is grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals. Their ingredients are grown naturally to ensure we offer the safest product for you.  

Our goal is to ensure the ingredients in our products are grown with care to improve the health of you and your family.
