ABOUT US

 

Our family is from south Louisiana and has been in the sugar business for over 129 years.   The Cypremort (pronounced si-pre-mor) Plantation was purchased in 1877 and sugarcane was planted. A refinery and five-roller sugar mill for processing the cane into sugar was also erected on this plantation. The company, the J.M. Burguieres Co., Ltd., was founded in 1877 in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. It is the oldest family land company in Louisiana under uninterrupted ownership. I started Cypremort Sugar Kettles after my wife and I bought a sugar kettle for our home. It is a real conversation piece, and adds quite a unique accent to our landscape. We really enjoy our sugar kettle and know that you will enjoy yours as well!
