If your into nice afternoon drives in the fall, then this is for you. Lots of scenery and a free tour of the sourgum process. Made the same way molasses is made except with sourgum. Can’t say that it tastes any good, imo, it tastes like burnt molasses. Probably best for cooking.

Must see if you’re in the area during September or October. Fun to watch the horses grind the sorghum cane, smell the sorghum being cooked down, and walk right into the mill. Any of the workers can explain the process of sorghum making. Samples of sorghum are on site, as well as sorghum suckers, cookies, breads, honey and other Mennonite bakery items. Enjoy their general store right across the street too. FAMILYFRIENDLY. FREE. VERYDIFFICULTTERRAINFORWHEELCHAIRSORHANDICAPPED.

Sorghum syrup is squeezed and boiled from cane by Mark and Sherry Guenther in a small town east of Nashville. You can drive there in the fall to watch them make their award winning delight. You can also see the horse-powered sorghum mill press the tasty syrup at Tennessee festivals. It has a special natural taste with a little bite to it. I use it for biscuit or pancake syrup. Get it directly from the Guenthers or from selected retailers like Whole Foods.
