    Barlow’s Foods creates a 3-in-1 pancake, biscuit, waffle mix, and assorted syrups. The difference between Barlow’s and what you’ll commonly find available is the quality of our ingredients. They use less refined ingredients such as unbleached organic, unenriched red wheat flour and Himalayan salt. Their ingredients are hand-sifted and selected. They believe in seasonal eating and how food was back in the day. You’ll find their award-winning peach cobbler year-round.

    All of their syrups are made from whole ingredients. They support local farmers when possible and give back to the veteran community.
