Want to satisfy your goal of self-sufficiency and your sweet tooth? Consider growing sorghum, crushing the cane, and boiling it down into sorghum syrup. Sorghum is similar to sugarcane but can be grown throughout most of North America.

Long lauded in the South, this crop is experiencing a modern-day revival, with homesteaders across the country tapping into the meaningful tradition of growing it as a self-sustaining sugar substitute. In the past, sorghum was crushed in large iron mills, often powered by horses. Recently, Grainmaker released a hand-powered sorghum press, making sorghum syrup production possible for any community.

In this collection of resources, you’ll find all the info you need to assist sorghum’s resurgence and earn your own sweet reward.
