- Sugar and Sugarcane production is a key feature in the history of Jamaica. You really can't talk about Jamaica's history without talking about sugar.
And there is a gentleman, Buggs, who despite, modernization and technological advancements, still does it the same way it was done in the 18th century, converting sugar cane into sugar, wet sugar, we call it.
Not only did have have the distinct pleasure to meet him, I got to see exactly how he does it! Truly insightful and great learning for both young and old.
Consider this my treat for you today!

When you've live overseas for a long time, it makes you miss home. In Jamaica you can live off the land easily. Some folks back home don't know how fortunate they are, to have the natural resources right there. We buy everything. You can grow chickens, plant food, grow fruits, everything natural. So many of us would love to move back home. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, of our beautiful country, and what it has to offer. ❤💚💛💚💛👍👍🌴🌴🌴🌞🌞🌞🌞
So so true 👍
Cane should wash first thing
Real facts , real truth , real organic foods good for your body, GMO foods make u sick
You can plan your future and go back home and invest some money on this mans land
So true everybody wanna come “ah foreign” I it’s strength and history beauty and all kind of amazing natural resource in Jamaica and we don’t even learn to be self sufficient they want you to be an employee in the US lol crazy aka slave
I would never in my wildest dreams experience this slice of Jamaican life if you didn't show this. You ,my friend , is the best at seeking out and showcasing Jamaica's treasure. Part 2 can't come fast enough.
Thanks my friend
I wish I had seen this in primary or high school and not to wait until I was in my thirties. Betta late dan neva. Some people are talking about relics of slavery and all that; the truth is , our people are.survivors of slavery just like some of the practices and I still love my people. Sometimes yuh get lenon and yuh mek lemon0ade, sometimes yuh get vinega an yuh wash yuh chicken back wid it. Slavery is a scourge on humanity, no argument , but outta bad come some good.
marcusdean007 Exactly! We should never forget our history and what our forefathers went through for our present existence.
If you could only bite into a piece of that sugar cane my friend you would think you died and went to Heaven.
I am living in London, I have a 16 year old Son who I share these videos with, Real Jamaica, keep up the good work Bro..
Thanks Janet
This is history and must preserve good job wet sugar better than regular sugar
Wet sugar makes the best lemonade.i had some years and years ago. It was delicious.
I live in Florida how can I buy some of this wet sugar I would like two bottles
WHAT DEAR PRECIOUS FOLKS THAT BRING BACK MEMORIES OF THE CANE MILL HERE IN LOUISIANA WHERE I USED TO WATCH CANE SYRUP BEING PULLED AND COOKED WITH MY DADDY 💚💜
Nice!
I love this can't wait for part 2.big up seen
Some of the happiest days of my life was days like this when we use to make head sugar or rather when my grandfather use to make it and we as children would drink so much cane juice until when we walk you could here it moving up and down in your stomach there's no juice like cane with ginger.
Oh yes. I remember those days as well. We were poor but not hungry, sugar cane juice and mango plus breadfruit with salt on it if you have no meat full u up .
Yes, yes I was a little girl of 9 yrs old when left Jamaica 🇯🇲 but my Grandfather used to have a sugar mill making cane sugar in St Ann Jamaica. There was nothing my grandfather didn’t try his hand at. He grow sugar cane, yams 🍠, bananas 🍌, coffee, oranges 🍊 anything you can think of he grow. He even reared pigs 🐖,goats, mules anything you can think of that Jamaican people grew he grew. Mr Zedi Nairne was man who wasn’t afraid of hard work. God rest his soul.
I love your cane juice store
@@TheAngelaplummer your grandmother knew how to make money
One thing missing it's two animals that is to be pulling the mill one on each end of the stick going around grinding the cane .As a child I grew up helping to pick up the barks of the crush cane to put into the fire to keep it blazing under the copper boiler. This brings back memories.
I like that so. In my country, they use two horses or mules to pull the mill's legs. Nuff respect bro! Good job!
Thanks Mackson!
In the hills of St. Catherine my father's uncle had one but they used two horses . These copper boilers were huge so the juice was poured out into one and then boiled in the other, then they would get some large tins of sugar. As kids we sometimes go to the mill and I could remember the day we were going home , we heard on the news that the Prime Minister Bustamante was dead..that time people always travel with their transistor radios.
Jamaican watching from u.s.a nice videos good job big up
Wow!! I love your take, always interesting to watch n learn , sweet Jamaica...
Indeed. Thanks Kathy
Love this video. My father-in law who is in his mid 80’s has a mill yard still in operation, also in Westmoreland. Always fun to watch and sample the cane juice with lemons or ginger whenever we visit .
Where is it my friend?
Bless❤️
This place is definitely a tourist destination
My grandfather had a similar setup on his farm back in the day.
Good to see a boiling house still in operation...as a child when they send me fi go buy a point or quart of wet sugar...Mass Aaron used to give me a lump of it in my hand...I like Mr Bugz answer as to why Jamaica is so special
Lol
Jamaica to the world 🇯🇲
OMG!!! School is in session. Jamaican history preserved. I am NEW! subscriber to your UA-cam, been a e-mail subscriber for a minute to your newsletter. I went to Jamaica for the first time, almost a year ago and fell in love with this beautiful country over and over again. Our wedding was supposed to be there, cancelled due to COVID-19. Pray someday we can still have our wedding there, even though we gotten married now. Keep up the good work for your people for you are creating generational wealth of knowledge for years to come!
Oh yeah, blessings my friend.
My goodness.Its wonderful that someone is maintaining part of our history.I am from Westmoreland also,and although I did no see the sugar being made I can remember my grandma,grandad and others using it.My sister's friend dad also makes it and she had some when I was home last year.Thank you for making it posdible for me to show this vid.to my daughters and grandchildren.Best wishes from Bolton Uk.
Man I love your videos, my wife from American is having such an appreciation for Jamaican because of your content! Big up yo self mi boss!!
Hey, it's a pleasure my brother.
@@myislandjamaica mister boops is not the only one using that kind of milk to make sugar there is one still actively working in Thompson town Clarendon.
My dear brother your videos are extremely outstanding and you always bring me back to nature and things that are natural. Blessings from NIKI in Georgia USA.
You are welcome my friend
This is great to see this at this time.
It's a good look i remember when I use to to great grandfather in Westmoreland to help him do this same thing I enjoyed every moment of it so this what you are showing jus bring back good memories thanks for the upload
It's a blessing my friend
Sugar was (1)of main industries in Jamaica from the16 century to late 1960s
Oh yea!
This should be preserved and promoted in our tourism. Govt. really dont promote locals.The cane juice can be boiled without the white lime to get a syrup or a hard sugar - jaggery(india) or panela(colombia).
Very interested. That is great. His son should continue , it's a good way of making a living and keeping history alive. I enjoy these , am from the country side so hard work is a way of life
Loved seeing how it used to be done. It is so wonderful to see the similarities between how the blacks in Jamaica farmed to the blacks in the southern states of America back in the 60s and 70s. So many memories were brought back to mind when I saw the sugar cane in the field. My dad grew sugarcane when I was a little girl. So few things can compare to chewing a chunk of raw sugarcane for nature's sweetness. OMG.
I believe this man deserves a national honor and an award trust me what he is doing is preserving an aspect of our history big up yourself Mr bigs aka sugar man
👍
My great grandfather had the same thing and I can remember I used to go and watch with my grandma I knew all about it thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you. I learn so much about my homeland from your videos.
Damn I think all watching this should share...this is awesome history...
You are right. Please share now my friend.
Good job on documenting and preserving the rich history of Jamaica and her people🇯🇲. These are the true artisans that keep the traditions alive. Jamaicans should feel proud that they come from a well diverse culture. Yuh deh gwaan gud, big up yourself. No matter where you roam, Jamaica will always be your home. 🏝 🇯🇲 🌞
Everytime
I am super proud of this farmer. Hats off to you sit as you try in your own little way to preserve our heritage that we are fast loosing.
Yes, thank you
I remember those days my father make sugar
Awesome work and lot patience.
Nothing like fresh cane juice with ginger...
Prefer mine with lime
Agreed
There is one of those mills still in Thompson town Clarendon
Were in thompson town is that mill i am from close that area..
Near the Elgin river in the hills
It's been a dream of mine to have a scale down version of one in my yard for along time but can't fine the right person to build it so if I get the chance I'd like to take some photos of it and try to make one for myself.
@@ludwigthomas9006 more ppl setting up small scale replica is great preservation, once u have the blueprint bless
Miss my country jamaica
Great video. Love wet sugar especially with ginger... can't eat it no more though
Wow!! Love this, hope 2 see part 2
Amazing video! I love history. I hope to visit that farm one day. I love sugar cane 😍. Thanks for this upload.
You are welcome Diva
I am now 64 years old and there was so many of these mills in my district in rural St Andrew.During the season when it was cane cutting and boiling of the juice to make sugar i didnt want to go to school ,it was such a happy time for us children,i remember us sleeping in the back of the boiling house ,as it used to be called,in the comfy pile of dried sugar cane trash. Oh i miss those days.
Thank you very much for sharing this video,it grings back some serious memories.
Welcome my friend
I know this man from i was a boy and he is still doing it bless up real man
Years ago I was in the Sugar Industry. So this resonates with me. I look forward to part 2. Thanks for filming this memorable slice of our fading heritage.
U r welcome my friend.
My father use to have a patch of sugar cane on our land and my brothers would wring the cane to get the juice,It was so delicious.We also had bambu cane which is the taller bigger ones. Bless up my Island friend.
WOW I CAN'T WAIT FI PART 2 A LOVE IT BLESS UP EVERYONE 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wow!! I am so loving this‼️‼️. Quite interesting plus I am in love nature. Thank you Mr Gayle..
U r welcome Kamau 🤗
My dad still does this... brings back lots of memories...
Where is he?
This is so educational for young people as well as older adults.
Oh yeah
I love Mr. Boogs attitude. I've never seen this process before but I've seen them burn the sugar cane fields. We would hop the sugar cane trucks and snatch a cane or 2 when they would drive through our neighborhood. Sweetest cane ever.
Sweet indeed. No pun intended
Anxiously awaiting part 2 my brother , respect and love from the Bahamas 🇧🇸
Yes man bless
I love this! Thanks for showcasing our rich culture.
I am teaching about Norbert Rillieux and his multiple effect evaporator. I was so happy to find this video to show how sugar was made before his invention! Thanks so much!
Wow. You are totally welcome
Very nice. My papa from Jamaica. I grow sugarcane in South Carolina.
This brought back so much memories. My father had a sugar mill and used to make wet sugar. I remember carrying the canes from the cane field and taking them to the mills then feeding them into the mill. My father used to use horses. Which he change out when he wanted to give the other horse a rest. I remember he had a very large field of sugar cane. I remember helping him plant the suckers in the field. I am having so much memories. The boiling of the sugar, the packing of the sugar head. Taking the sugar to May Pen market to sell on Thursday night to meet Friday morning. May God continue to bless you for capturing this.
The pleasure is mine my friend. Thank you for the feedback and to god be the glory.
Yard has this unmatched beauty in the country; good vibes
This video take me back to when i was growing up my father does the same thing in the hills of Kentucky
With sorghum?
He is such a humble man doing what he love to do
I stumbled on your channel just a few weeks ago...I wish I had known of you much earlier. Love all your programmes. Very interesting and informative. Different from all the others. You show the beautiful side of Jamaica. I am not a jamaican. I am from Nevis, but my husband is a jamaican. He has never returned since he left when he was 14. Now in his 60s..Hopefully we will visit very soon, once this covid-19 is over...
Such a blessing. Thanks my friend.
Yes my grandfather that😘😘🥰....the Simpson from New works community in Westmoreland as a kid growing up i like to sit and watch the mill....sometimes after the mule finish he would let him rest and put us to ride on it

Jamaicans are some of the most productive in agriculture. Please do not sell out your lands ..instead try and maintain it. It's a blessing to have those land, our ancestors fought hard, many lost their lives to have those land, please understand it's priceless.
Great stuff... is the first I am seen the process.
This is a wonderful piece of history. I never knew this before.
you are welcome.
Love this. ♥️ Memories of my childhood. Had two in my community.
You are a lucky person, bless.. Coming from concrete jungle ,Kinston didnt give us much of Jamaica"s heritage except crime.
Oh yeah?

True

Cool
Wow this is very interesting. God bless Mr Boogs for carrying on this tradition. I was born in 1970 and this is my first time seeing how sugar is made. Thank you for making this available to us
You are welcome Winsome!
Beautiful my grand father use to do that in st Thomas I use to help him so I know how to make wet sugar
That's awesome
Jamaica has some truly unique people, they are a pleasure to watch.
Oh yeah!
I remember this method my grandfather use to have lots of cain and he had is own mill.he lived on the profit from this sugar head and wett sugar .use to love the cane juice with lime.
Good stuff
i'm from Barbados - in the old days people cane would only be grown on a big plantation, with the women doing the bundles
What is stopping Mr. Buggs from rigging a filter or two onto the
gutter draining the juice ( from the crushing cylinders) into the
collection drum?
He could therefore save the time and effort at manually filtering.
Secondly, the bagasse can very well substitute for the burning of
wood, if the bagasse is well dried.
Otherwise, the bagasse is excellent as soil cover on the farm or
even as fertiliser.
Also, because the juice is not fully squeezed out of the canes, there
is a lot of nutritional minerals in the bagasse, and it is still very moist,
and is indeed excellent feed for pigs. An extra stream of income for
the Buggs family.
Is Mr. Buggs aware that the raw juice diluted, is also good for the
crops?
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
If you were observing and listening well, you would have heard when he said Mr Buggs is carrying on the tradition from 300 years ago. Three hundred years ago, this is exactly how they made sugar. That means they didn't have any filters for the sugar. This is how all our ancestors did it and nobody died from it. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@simsimma3764👍👍👍👍
People like Mr Bigg make Jamaica different
so true.
May God Bless the natural resources of Jamaica 🇯🇲 to continue and I hope the youngsters there get a glimpse and put down their weapons against each other and start making a honest living.
We know time is coming to an end but while we have the day, and with all the resources in the country, please put them to use.
I hope one of his children take up the rein and continue what daddy has began. May God Bless him 🙏
🙏
'Ole' slavery days...' ~Burning Spear. Millstones forged in Chatanooga, Tennessee. Bitter, sweet memories.
Can't wait to see part two
yes...needed this information and visuals for the next book I am writing!! Set in 1880. Sooo useful. Thank you!! 🥰
My family in Clarendon did that for 3 generations
👍
Love the Cane Juice
He’s really right about that. It’s real sugar that makes Jamaica special even though it’s not good for you the reason I said he’s right is because I can’t think of any Jamaican treat that isn’t loaded with cane sugar; sorrel juice, rum cake, pudding, grater cake, drops, bulla, and my favorite Gizzada…
