Far-infrared (40-160 micron) observations of Herbig-Haro objects and their probable exciting stars are presented. The importance of these far-infrared observations is epitomized by the fact that, on average, 70 percent of the bolometric luminosity of a typical candidate star is radiated beyond the longest detected ground-based wavelength, even for those objects observed out to 20 micron from the ground. Extended far-infrared emission characterizes some of these regions. Some Herbig-Haro nebulae are themselves conspicuous 100 micron peaks (e.g., HH 1 and HH 25). A bipolar structure is found at 100 micron in the vicinity of the Cohen-Schwartz star. All the exciting stars must be low-mass objects (approximately less than 3 solar mass). It is argued that they might be approximately 1 solar mass protostars still in their accretion phase.
