There’s nothing as sweet as quality time with the ones you love.

The not-so-secret ingredient in cherished recipes passed down through generations.

Our Heritage

Rooted in family farms and driven by a cooperative spirit, Crystal Sugar has been dedicated to nourishing communities with quality sugar and sustainable practices for over a century.

Commitment to Sustainability

As a leader in agribusiness, Crystal Sugar is dedicated to sustainable farming and environmental stewardship. From using every part of the sugar beet to reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions, the company strives to protect the land while providing quality sugar for generations to come.

Family Farms at the Heart

Crystal Sugar has always worked closely with family farmers across America’s Heartland. These farmers, who are also the company’s owners, take great pride in the sugar that goes from their fields to your kitchen, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality.

A Legacy of Innovation and Growth

Founded by Henry Oxnard and other investors in 1899 as American Beet Sugar Company, after several transformations, it aligned to its namesake brand by becoming American Crystal Sugar Company in 1934. With a long history of innovation and growth, it remains a significant player in the sugar industry.

Putting Our Farmers First

Since 1973, Crystal Sugar has been proudly owned by the farmers who grow the sugar beets. This cooperative model ensures that the people who care most about the land and the product are directly involved in the company’s success. In 2023, the cooperative celebrated its 50th anniversary, a testament to its enduring legacy.
