Michael and Christy Underwood have an acre of sorghum they are turning into molasses. They are looking for help with the harvest. If you are interested contact them at UnderWood Family Farms.
More details from Underwood Family Farms:
Have you ever wondered how molasses is made? Well here’s your chance to come see this southern tradition from start to finish. Underwood Family Farms will be harvesting their acre patch of sorghum cane the week of Sept. 27-Oct.2. They are looking for volunteers to help strip the fodder (leaves), cut off the seed heads, and cut down the stalks of cane to be milled that weekend (Oct.3-4).
If you don’t feel like coming for the work, then come for the fun! The milling and cooking of the cane will take place at Elliott Family Farm’s second annual Heritage Days which boasts a hit and miss engine, blacksmith, grist mill, and a general store full of farm fresh wares, plus a village of 1800’s cabins and outbuildings. It’s fun for the whole family!
For more details and directions talk to Christy Underwood at the Yorkmont Market on Saturday morinings. Underwood Family Farms ph: 704.538.5742 website: www.underwoodfamilyfarms.net
