- How to Make Sugar Cane Syrup (the Old Fashioned Way).
From the farm to the bottle, we take you through the full process of harvesting, pressing, cooking down & bottling. (Be sure to stick around for part 2, as well.)
We take a trip over to EcoFarm in Plant City, FL to visit with our friend Jon Butts. Jon is an experienced farmer who is well known in the Tampa area for the organic items he brings to market, but he is known equally well for his contribution on the air with WNMF 88.5, where he hosts the popular program 'The Sustainable Living Show' on Monday Mornings at 10am. Whether you live nearby, or even if you are outside the Tampa area - you can listen live through the station website or listen to past episodes as well - www.wmnf.org/category/news/sus...

Trust me the world needs more teachers like this guy !
Interesting process. Fewer and fewer people doing old school harvesting of any crops. Kudos to john and his crew.
Somehow ive misses this video.
Anyways we make it up here with sorghum. Its so good!
There is a living history festival my aunt is a part of & ive volunteered at as well. But they make it all there in demonstration. They press it with horses/mules tho!
We just did a cane press party today here at Ecofarms🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for Another Great video ! good to see Jim again.
Claudio NJHW thank you! You'll be seeing more of Jim this year.
Thank you so much for this interesting and beautiful video, sir!
Glad you enjoyed! I feel this one is highly underrated and deserves some more views.
As usual another great video!
Thanks Amanda!
Another great video! I've been looking for one of those old syrup pots since the 90s 😂. A friend used them as waterlily pots.
Sulcata Grove how cool! I take it you already have the press?
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL - not yet. Not enough sugar cane yet to justify the expense.
Puts my juicer to shame. Awesome stuff guys!
Fish Grow Greens lol right?!? This thing is beast.
Terrific!
Wow thank you so much, i live out in Plant City and my guy i bought a fig tree from said the old timers used to press the sugarcane and make syrup and sugarcane juice
Mr.Sweet awesome! This is the man in the area, he has a special fig variety. They do a local market also.
Thanks! Do you still have garden tours at your house? I just went downs your videos and saw like one of the first ones was your doing a tour, i'd like to come see!
Deep South Homestead has some videos on how they process their sugar cane.
Pete Kanaris - please checkout DeepSouth Homestead’s sugarcane/syrup videos.
Sharon Blassingame definitely, thanks for sharing!
Saw one of these cane presses while on a sugarcane farm in mountains of Costa Rica. They used horses instead of a golfcart
Derek Wong pretty cool stuff! There are still a few hanging around.
That varietie is florida Red sugarcane 🌴
Sugarcane-sugar industry is the most circular economy，the factory even burn the screwed fiber to cook the juice for sugar.
All knowledge
Kieth Rucker, over on VintageMachinery has repaired several cane mills on his channel....so someone is still pressing cane!
Pete. You should check out Steve Melton he is on you tube and he is just outside of Brooksville. He has a sugar cane festival every year
Awsome farm didn't sound like a lot of money is it but I love go woofing on farms like that in Florida
Hillbilly Guru for sure!
97 likes, Pete (with my add :) )...0 thumbs down. Great video once again !
Thanks Jeff! 👊
If he wants to make harvesting faster, he could mimic a chainsaw mill. Use a long crosscut bar'ed Chainsaw mounted to a tractor or golf cart, and mow down stalks. He could also put together an electric powered variation if he wants. They make bars up to 7 and 8 feet long. I Use one to make lumber.
This sounds great, however... the way you cut the first crop has a profound effect on the yield of subsequent rattoon crops which can range from a lot less that initial cane up to ~ 20% more. Not sure a chainsaw will give the desired result.
Do you know anyone in the area we could bring some cane to to have juiced? Or someone selling a juicer?
I would watch craigslist or marketplace.
I live in Plant City and cook sugarcane in a 60 gallon pot and use a1909 Golden's #2 mill to press my cane. Where is this farm located at? I have not heard of them.
Tom Lawson glad to hear others are still doing it the old fashioned way, I since have found someone up by me doing this way also. I would look him up online, I know Jon is even on Facebook. I don't know the property address, I just remember it be off 301 somewhere in strawberry land.
isn't Plant City by Tampa. Another great video
Chris Oneil S yes just east of Tampa.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL ... another great video. I live in Miami. Sea Water Rising and an overcrowded City is a recipe for disaster. Global warming is very real. In the very near future if don't have land, collecting your own Rainwater, growing your own food, being self-sufficient. You will be in serious trouble and much sooner than you think. I have my own ideas about building tiny homes within a mesh Dome. A mesh Dome that can easily be covered by Hurricane resistant panels. A solar-powered mesh Dome where you can grow vegetables in elevated raised beds. Protected from hurricanes, flooding, fire and insects. All on land surrounded by bamboo barriers and Common Sense permaculture. Yes I'm a Navy vet, web developer, watch all your videos and itching to buy land. Ready to the show the world that building small homes within a convertible solar powered mesh Dome is the future of sustainable living.
do you know where I can purchase the cane?
zaneymay you can find plants or cuttings at Asian markets typically.

thank you!
Such a cool process. I would love to drink some of that! I'm am in need of some compost. I sent an email to greendreamsfl, hoping to hear from ya soon.
Hey Aaron! We are out of compost at this time and not very happy with local supplies at this time. We have some really well broken down mulch if your interested. I probably have 100 emails to catch up on, hopefully tomorrow. My apologies for the delayed response.
Golf cart driver is dizzy probably lol
11219tt lol that's what I was thinking 😂
Wait how is Jim a diabetic if he’s growing all this natural food?
Are we all doomed no matter what or did he have a poor diet before or does he currently still drink soda and such?
