@guntruckLT Hi Glad to see you enjoyed this. It is a dying tradition as not many folks grow the cane to make the molasses and it is a lot of work to boil it down - the fresh made can be really good. These folks have a least 3 generations on the farm and maybe 4 the oldest had 100th birthday last year and I he was in the Blue Ridge Restaurant , Floyd Virginia -last week with his daughter.
We are in the Appalachian Music community of Floyd Virginia - I am also making a small museum display of some of my computers available to the public in the Village Green. We are on the "Blue Ridge Parkway" & " The Crooked Road - Virginia's Heritage Music Trail" . A lot of good things here - drop in and see us sometime. Also if you are biker this is a big stop over for riders on the Blue Ridge Parkway - Dave
Ruth Woods father Garfield Radford had his 100th birthday party the 13th of this month and its was a really big event. So sorry I missed it as the article in the Floyd Press with photos was most interesting. Hope to be at his 101.
Very interesting to hear the connection to Robert Childress, The Man Who Moved a Mountain. (The old press used to belong to his son.) Obviously love of the Appalachian lifestyle was passed from father to son, and son to friends! Thanks for sharing this tradition with the viewers. Cheryl
The visit to the Woods farm in Floyd County Virginia is always enjoyable and seeing the molasses making was special treat. I was able to purchase a few pints and won't be able to use all of them. I you would like one - come to the Floyd Professional Center , Village Green, Floyd Virginia 540-808-2880 and you can purchase one there until they are all gone.

I would love to learn how to do this and grow some cane here in WV to do it. Got any ideas, where do you get the seeds etc.
Feel free to help educate me as I would love to see more folks get the chance to do this in their life.
