Exploring the Time-Honored Appalachian Tradition of Sorghum Making in the Enchanting Smoky Mountains with the Guenther Family. #theappalachianchannel #simplelife #cadescove #smokymountains #sorghum #farming #mules
I can listen to John talk all day, what a interesting fellow and good human being he is. They don't make them like that anymore. God bless and keep up the good work. Love the channel. Long time subscriber, Iggy. p
Great video like always John and Jodi. Sherry is always there supporting her husband in whatever way she can. She is such a lovely person. Everything is very educational to those who have not grown up around this. It brings back memories for me. I could imagine what the bacon taste like. It had to be very yummy!
Great more of the Guenther family and their Sorghum business going around the country and i really enjoy hearing about their history and stories of the past as well as the present Thank You. 💖💖🇺🇲🇺🇲💖💖
You won't be disappointed. It's got a very distinct taste to it but dog gone it I couldn't put it down once I started putting it on my biscuits and pancakes
I enjoyed this so much, but in a bittersweet kind of way. I'm 71 years old, but when i was just a kid in the 60's my mother and father took me to Cades Cove to that very spot. I miss my parents so much. We have lots of relatives in East Tennessee and some grew up in SW VIRGINIA .
I'm going to order some preserves and some sort of. I know I'm not writing it down right? Lol but I'm just waiting until I'm done paying off the wood and then I'll be ordering some really good stuff from you guys
It is so awesome that they do this. I do kind of the same thing up in our area of North Dakota. Obviously it's different because we're teaching about the pioneers that settled the area and lived off of the Great plains. But it is so awesome to be able to teach people about history. And it's important to teach history much like John is doing there and keep it alive. Because history can fade away so fast. This is the awesome part of the internet though, not only will history stay alive but we have someone generous enough to teach us .Those kids feeding the mill is an experience he'll take home with him and have for the rest of his life. It's also really awesome because not only is it being taught it's being filmed. And reaching all corners of the world.
I’m from the big old city of New York and man would I love to trade my life for a farmer, I work construction in the city but it’s rough as we are with white collar folks bunched up
Thanks John and Jodi. We absolutely love these videos. We've been to their store, and they were "cooking" across the road. The experience was memorable. We couldn't make the Cades coves process at this time. Is there any way to know the Gunthers' cades cove schedule next year?
Thanks for the comment and watching the video. It was a great honor for me to make almost 40 videos with Ralph Robertson that I filmed over a two year period. Since his passing in December they have been a surge in his video views here on RU-vid. The series was first posted a few years back on Facebook but at that time the RU-vid Channel only had about 2k subscribers. Now that I’m at over 100k subs “The Greasy Hollow Memories” videos have found a whole new audience.. Come along with me to Greasy Hollow, Tennessee and meet a real Appalachian storyteller that became a living legend. Below is a link to the Greasy Hollow Memories series if you would like to watch more.
