From our humble beginnings at our first festival to see if anyone would buy our syrup, to several years down the road we've made it into shops like Farmview Market, grocery stores and large events like Country Living Fair. We have loved the journey and meeting so many wonderful people has made it all worth the extra hours of work to bring this dream to a reality.
Our Story
Sutton Mill Creek Syrup Co. was founded in May 2017 by Beth Palmer from Clarkesville, Georgia. I discovered the wonderful flavor of hickory syrup when I purchased some at an event for some gifts. But when I went home and shared it with my husband Bruce, we both loved the product and decided to try making some of our own. I am not a stranger to being an entrepreneur. At the time,
we owned two businesses and was looking for a new opportunity that we could retire doing.
I gathered up everything needed to make a batch and worked on perfecting the recipe. I decided to try my luck with selling the syrup at a local festival and it was instantly a hit. That festival was the start of adventure for us. Today we are producing, Original Hickory Syrup and other flavors such as Pecan Hickory, which is our top seller and Roasted Pecan Hickory which is a Flavor of Georgia Finalist 2020, Spiced Apple Cider Syrup Flavor of Georgia winner 2022, Bourbon Hickory, Toasted Marshmallow Hickory, Sweet and Spicy, Smoky Maple, Hickory Heat. As my business continues to grow we aspire to create new flavors and products like our Old Fashion Pancake Mix. Our Hickory syrups are handcrafted in small batches, which accounts color and flavor nuances. We forage for the bark right here in Georgia, making it wild crafted and Georgia grown.
