Anthony's Syrup Mill has been making cane syrup and molasses unofficially for over 100 years. To this day, our small-batch syrup gets boiled in metal pans that were welded by Oliver Anthony (the second generation syrup maker in our family) in the 1960s just outside of Philadelphia, MS. Over the years, other recipes have been honed to perfection and added to the collection of products available. While most of our products are offered year round, be sure to look for our seasonal syrups like blueberry and strawberry when the fruit ripens!

The Anthony’s Syrup Mill, located just outside of Philadelphia, MS, has been producing cane syrup and molasses unofficially for more than 100 years.
