Dana and Ted Huber, the family behind Huber's Orchard and Winery in Clark County, have been awarded the title of Indiana's Small Business Persons of the Year. The honor highlights their work in expanding Starlight Distillery and building a local agritourism destination.
The Hubers took over the family farm years ago and turned it into a popular spot for wine, spirits, and fresh produce. Their distillery, Starlight, has gained a strong following for its bourbon and other spirits. The award recognizes not just their business growth but also their role in drawing visitors to southern Indiana.
State officials praised the couple for creating jobs and supporting other local businesses. The Hubers said they were grateful for the recognition and credited their team for the success. They plan to keep growing the operation while staying true to the family roots.
The award comes from the Indiana Small Business Development Center, which picks one winner each year. Dana and Ted were chosen from a group of nominees across the state. Their winery and distillery have become a key stop for tourists exploring the region.
