sugar mills
Sweetener production facilities
Sugar mills are facilities where sugarcane is processed to extract sugar.
The cane stalks are crushed between heavy rollers to squeeze out the juice, which is then boiled and refined into raw sugar.
Historically, sugar mills were powered by wind, water, or animals; the term evokes plantation-era production in the Caribbean and American South.
The old sugar mill has been converted into a museum.
