Louisiana Sugar Factories

Raw sugar factories have been operating in southern Louisiana for a very long time.  Among them is M.A. Patout & Sons, Ltd. operating a sugar mill south of Jeanerette since 1825.  It is still owned and operated by the founding Patout family.  Also known as "Enterprise Factory" they run two other old sugar mills: Sterling Sugars founded 1807 in Franklin, and Raceland Raw Sugar in Raceland.  All three mills are producers of sugar, molasses, and syrup
