Hillside Candy is our company’s corporate umbrella name for three brands of candy. The brands are Golightly Sugar Free Candy, in business since 1980 (though the business started many years earlier), Hillside Sweets, a line of sugar-based hard candy, and GoNaturally, a line of USDA certified organic candy. These 3 Made-in-America lines are sold in drug store chains, mass merchandisers, grocery chains, supermarkets, gourmet stores, rebaggers, gift basket companies and other businesses. Each of Hillside’s lines offers quality, consistency and delicious taste. Moses Rubinstein founded Moru Industries Company. Unlike its competitors, the company did not mass-produce candy; it cooked only one product (a simple honey drop candy) individually wrapped. After many years in business, Moses turned the company over to his nephew Mike Fisher, a candy chemist by trade. Mike continued the business, but by 1980, became fed up.
