History: First of its kind any where in the world, this cane cleaning plant took sugar cane and removed the leaves and dirt, which was burned to ash. The Ash was returned to the fields and the sugar cane would go to the mill to become 100% Steen's Pure Cane Syrup.


one of a kind Magical Memories: "I can remember going to the Mill at night and hanging out until we just HAD to go home", said Carole Steen. You see it was Grinding Season and with Mother Nature at the heels of the farmer to get their cane crops in, the Mill would stay open twenty-four hours a day. "We went there to see Daddy, because, for the most part, it was see him there or not see much of him. We would make our way up all the floors and stages of the Mill visiting everyone. One of my fondest memories was of an elderly employee Mr. Sabre Duhon calling us over and bringing us to the lab. This place was so awesome and intimidating to me as a child. All the testing equipment and machines just seemed so important. Sabre would lead us over to this toaster oven where he parched peanuts and gave them to us. As a child, I found this so magical. It's a memory I still hold close to my heart."
