About us
How It all Began
In 1983, my wife and I attended a pancake social. “Have you tried this syrup?” my wife asked. “It’s REALLY good!” I did try it and immediately asked for the recipe. Homemade buttermilk syrup instantly became our family’s favorite. Whole wheat pancakes topped with frothy buttermilk syrup became a celebratory breakfast for large family gatherings and holidays.
One morning when I made pancakes, I went to the fridge and found we had run out of buttermilk. Out came the imitation maple syrup. My children pushed their plates away. Their faces said it all. The high-fructose corn syrup simply would not do. That’s when it hit me — this was no ordinary syrup.
The Demand Grows
As our family grew, so did the tradition. Friends and relatives who visited were always treated to a pancake breakfast with Uncle Bob's buttermilk syrup—and their first reactions said it all. Before long, the requests kept coming, and it became clear: it was time to share this syrup beyond our own table.
After hundreds of hours perfecting a shelf-stable recipe without preservatives or sacrificing its homemade taste, Butter Country Syrups made their debut in 2016. What began as one family recipe had officially become a family business.
A New Chapter: Berry Country
While Butter Country Syrups will always be at the heart of what we do, we couldn't stop dreaming about what else belonged on the breakfast table.
Inspired by the same commitment to real ingredients and homemade flavor, we created Berry Country—a line of premium fruit syrups made with real fruit, no corn syrup, and the same care that made Butter Country a family favorite. From classic Strawberry to unique blends like Ruby Berry, every bottle is crafted to bring fresh, vibrant flavor to your meals.
Whether you're pouring Butter Country or Berry Country, our mission remains the same: helping families create meaningful moments and lasting memories around the table.
