Sweet sorghum, grown and processed on a Tennessee family farm.

The Appalachian tradition of making sorghum syrup goes back generations and still thrives on a few family farms near East Fork’s first home in Madison County, North Carolina.

Picture a draft horse powering a press that squeezes raw sorghum syrup from cane grown on a neighbor’s farm. Imagine everyone gathered ‘round a metal trough with a fire burning underneath. Stories are swapped and old songs are taught to new generations as the raw sorghum boils down to a sweet, thick syrup.

The Cantrell Family at Ross Farms in Bumpus Mills, Tennessee grow and process sorghum on their farm and made enough to share. Drizzle sorghum on biscuits, swap it out for molasses, or sweeten up coffee with its complex, caramelized flavor.

Benjamin ★★★★★

I was expecting regular molasses but this sorghum has a lighter, almost honey-like sweetness that doesn't overpower biscuits. Knowing it comes from a small family farm in Tennessee makes it feel worth the price. Already halfway through the jar.

Violet ★★★★★

The jar arrived sealed tight and the syrup has that deep, earthy sweetness you just don't get from the corn syrup stuff at the grocery store. Been stirring a spoonful into my morning oatmeal all week and it's genuinely the best I've had since my grandmother's.

Henry ★★★★★

I've been putting this on biscuits every morning since it arrived, and the flavor is way more complex than the corn syrup stuff from the grocery store. Knowing it comes from a family farm in Tennessee that still runs the old Appalachian process makes it worth the price.
