Prized in the mid-19th century as a homegrown sweetener, sorghum enjoyed a brief renaissance during the Civil War years when Union blockades made cane sugar a rare commodity. Join our farm hands as they make prairie sugar, also known as sorghum molasses. Help strip the leaves off the sorghum canes, press the canes through a horse-powered press to extract the juice, and stir the juice as it boils down to make a sweet, syrupy molasses. Then, enjoy a sweet treat of molasses confections such as gingerbread and molasses candy.
