Feeding Families
U.S. Sugar is a farming company that sustainably grows sugarcane, citrus, and fresh vegetables. The company was founded in 1931 by a visionary leader who hailed from a long line of farmers. Since the beginning, our company's success has been rooted in traditional farming values and respect for the land.
Our local farmers provide nearly 10 percent of all sugar produced in the United States, 260,000 orange trees, and half of Florida's sweet corn crop.
