The Village of Hensall

Firmly rooted in the heart of Huron County's rich agricultural land, Hensall is home to three large processing facilities: Thompsons Limited, Hensall Co-op and Cook's Division of Parrish & Heimbecker Ltd. Here, thousands of tons of beans are annually processed, packaged and shipped world-wide.
Hensall's stature as the White Bean Capital of Canada is built on growth and development that began in the 1800s with traditional farming methods. Today, of course, state-of-the-art technology is what keeps us competitive and enables us to help feed the world!

This is W. B. Fields

the village mascot.
