We needed to do the same thing.

You can wrap the variable value in double quotes:

bobvila@bobuntu:~/svnroot/app/myapp$ heroku config:add woodchuck="How much wood
> could a woodchuck chuck
> if a woodchuck could chuck wood"
Adding config vars and restarting myapp... done, v25
woodchuck: How much wood
could a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood
bobvila@bobuntu:~/svnroot/app/myapp$ heroku config
=== Config Vars for myapp
woodchuck:                       How much wood
could a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood
bobvila@bobuntu:~/svnroot/app/myapp$ 

If you're using Foreman for localhost development, the .env file doesn't support multi-line variables so you'll need to export it to the shell before launching Foreman
