Pass the Muddy Pond Sorghum
Move over maple and make room for sorghum syrup.
Nestled halfway between Nashville and Knoxville in the town of Monterey, Muddy Pond Sorghum has been making the sticky-sweet stuff since the mid-1960s. John and Emma Guenther founded the sorghum business, which is now run by their three sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
The Guenthers produce 100-percent pure sorghum with no additives, made from sorghum cane that they plant on their farm each year. Guests are invited to watch the sorghum syrup being made during September and October, and Sherry and Mark Guenther can be seen at several festivals across the state making their tasty sorghum.
Muddy Pond also produces honey from bees on the farm and recently introduced a bold barbecue sauce made with their sorghum. Visit muddypondsorghum.com to learn more.
Would love to taste Muddy Pond Sorghum on a warm biscuit. A hero’s breakfast for sure.
why do you make it so hard to enter the contest?
I agree with Loren, why make it so hard to enter?? You go through the hoops just to get one entry. Make it simple people, like putting membership # or something to make sure we are a Tn Farm bureau member. Sheesh!!
Would love to try this sorghum.
Muddy Ponds is a nice place to visit. I’ve been there several times and enjoy watching the sorghum made. Lots of other goodies are available too. I can almost taste it now.
