That is what pure, all-natural Pioneer Sugar is all about. Our sugar starts on family farms in Michigan and Ontario, Canada. During the growing season, Mother Nature makes the sugar and after harvest that sugar is extracted and packaged at Michigan Sugar Company’s processing facilities in Bay City, Caro, Croswell, and Sebewaing, Michigan. Then, that sugar makes it’s way to store shelves and, ultimately, your home, where it is used to sweeten delicious treats and savory dishes, mix up a tasty cocktail or sauce, or craft an original scrub. From our farms to your table: it doesn’t get any sweeter than that.
The sugarbeet is a very important and successful cash crop for Michigan Sugar Company grower-owners across the Great Lakes State and Ontario, Canada. Learn how a young sugarbeet seedling survives many obstacles and grows into a strong crop for harvest, and is then sliced to extract pure, all-natural Pioneer Sugar that ends up on a table near you.
On behalf of Michigan Sugar Company’s nearly 850 grower-owners, our 1,000 year-round employees, and our 1,100 seasonal workers, I’d like to personally thank you for supporting our cooperative by purchasing Pioneer Sugar. We work very hard every day to produce high-quality products on which our customers can rely. We do so with a focus on sustainability and by following our core values we like to say are EPIC+: Excellence, Pride, Integrity, Compassion, and Trust. At Michigan Sugar Company, we’ve been Making Life Sweeter with our pure, all-nature Pioneer Sugar since 1906 and we look forward to continuing to do so for the next century … and beyond!
