Thank a farmer and his farming family every time you eat! Canada's only domestic sugar source wouldn't be possible without them. #SugarBeets #CanadianAgriculture #FamilyFarm #ThankAFarmer

Did you know...sugar beets are only produced in two provinces, Alberta and Ontario. But, all the sugar beets grown in Ontario are shipped over the boarder to Michigan for refining. This means that the only source of domestic sugar is from Alberta, all refined in Taber.

We’d love to hear your story! 🙌

Every bag of Rogers Sugar labelled #22 supports sustainable, ethical, and 100% Canadian sugar — proudly grown from sugar beets right here in Southern Alberta. 💚

Taber, Alberta -- home to the last remaining sugar beet factory in all of Canada. Here, sugar beets are supplied by 200 Southern Alberta farmers and are then turned into the only 100% Canadian sugar product!

Family farming tells a story of sustainability. Carrying on the legacy to the next generation, every farmer is cautious to properly look after the farm soil with environmentally friendly practices that preserve its quality for the future.

🌱 From Seed to Sugar 🍬

Every bag of Canadian sugar starts with a tiny sugar beet seed planted right here in Southern Alberta. With care, innovation, and sustainable practices, our farmers nurture these seeds into healthy plants.

Did you know... all sugar beets are grown with 2 hours of Taber, Alberta, the processing facility for Canadian sugar beets?

While Canada is the fifth largest exporter in the world of agricultural and agri-food products, sugar beets grown in Alberta stay right here in Canada and are the only domestic source of sugar available.

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of giving a presentation about sugar beets to a fourth grade class in Edmonton. We learned all about the life cycle of a sugar beet, harvest, and how beets are processed into sugar!
