Making Sugar at Freewoods' Farm

Visit an historic farm in the Burgess community where you can watch mules Pete and Jake take turns grinding sugar cane into pulp, then pressed to squeeze out the juice that is used to make syrup. Freewoods Farm grows and processes crops using the tools and techniques common in the years following the Civil War. Watch the process. Buy the products. Enjoy talking with the farmers!
