Not far from Monterey off Interstate 40 is a small, rural community known simply as Muddy Pond. Established forty-five years ago by Mennonite farmers, it’s long been a quiet stop on the road for folks with a bit of time to seek handmade goods and enjoy a glimpse of a more strenuous yet straightforward way of life. 
The Guenther family has been making sorghum for decades now, cutting cane at harvest time and cooking the sweet juice down using both traditional and modern methods.
In laboring side by side, the fathers, mothers, brothers, sons and daughters of the extended Guenther family have found more than one sweet side to the business of making dark, delicious sorghum.

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
