Who We Are

"Story Corner" is a go-to resource for home ideas, food and recipes for everyday and special occasions, and garden know-how that can’t be rivaled. Our early magazines dealt almost exclusively with garden topics, but as the years—and our name and logo—progressed, we’ve been busy adding to our encyclopedia of home helpers. Throughout the decades, BHG has branched out to cookbooks (the New Cookbook, affectionately called the “Red Plaid Cookbook,” was first published in 1930 and has sold approximately 38 million copies), special interest publications, real estate, television shows, and more. We built a first-of-its-kind “taste-testing kitchen” in 1928, and by the 1970s, we had over 7 million magazine subscribers. We erected a half-acre test garden in the middle of Des Moines, Iowa, in 1998, and in all the years between filled our pages with ideas for elevating everyday living.
