Good for the People & the Planet Wholesome Sweeteners" Organic Sugar is produced from certified organic sugar cane grown without the use of herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or chemicals in South America. The Sugar Mill provides a much needed infrastructure for the rural community, which would otherwise not be available such as medical facilities, housing, schools, clean water and electricity. The Mill is energy self sufficient- we use the crushed cane stalks, called bagasse, as fuel to generate electricity for the Mil and the surrounding community, so we do not use any fossil fuels. The Mill purchases sugar cane from farmer cooperatives that "green cut" the cane - which means that we do not burn or spray the fields and the sugar cane is cut by hand. The leaves and tops of the cane plant are left in the field as a nutrient source for the soil and as a natural form of weed control.
