In August of 2021 Hopkinsville received the official status as "Batter Capital of the World."
Known for the production of globally recognizable products such as Krusteaz products (including pancake, waffle, muffin mix and more), Ghirardelli brownie mix, Cracker Barrel biscuit mix, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, SunFlour corn meal, flour, and a variety of others, it is easy to see why Hopkinsville, KY is the Batter Capital of the World®
“We are thrilled to officially be the Batter Capital of the World,” said Hopkinsville Mayor Wendell Lynch. “We are so grateful to the farmers, industries, and thousands of employees across several sectors that work every day to make this proclamation a reality.”
With successful partners in the community for over 173 years, Hopkinsville continues to be a beacon of food mix manufacturing. Anchor industries, such as Hopkinsville Milling Company which produces SunFlour products and is Hopkinsville’s oldest industry, made way for additional industries in the same market. The addition of Siemer Milling in 1995 and The Krusteaz Company, (previously known as Continental Mills) in 1998 continue to grow the daily production of food grade products and brands.
