Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added back.

Maybe try a different brand with better packaging? I usually buy I think
a 2 lb plastic bag. They store well and when I open a bag I empty it
into a plastic tub with a tight fitting lid. Most hardness I have seen
is maybe a few 3/8" lumps when getting towards the end.
