- Joe Todd's family has been making cane syrup for over a hundred years. In this interview, we travel to Headland, Alabama to learn about his life and about how he makes his marvelous syrup.
What a wonderful gentleman Mr.Todd is.
This video was done 9 years ago and so few comments. This tells you that the younger generations have no interest in their heritage or ancestors for that matter. So sad. Hats off to Mr.Todd. A good speaker and teacher. So relaxed and a world of knowledge.
Loved the video and stories Mr. Todd shared with us.
I would like to share with you all, I personally have had Mr. Todd's good tasting cane syrup first hand when my uncle gave my dad a bottle of it.
I promise you all, after tasting this good cane syrup, you WILL NOT want anymore of the mass production mess from the stores.
I bugged my dad every time I talked with him if he have gotten any more of Mr. Todd's cane syrup, after repeatly being told no and disappointed, I decided to go online and google Mr. Todd.....glad I did and will be placing me some orders.
I am in my golden years an remember seeing syrup being made as a boy I have acquired a kettle an made a cane press ,, an grown some cane made my first batch this fall its a lot of work an challenging ,, hope to share an do more a wonderful product forgotten
I loved what he said about make a living and it wasnt making money it was self reliance.
First video I've seen that spoke about transplanting stalks of Caine instead of seed planting.
I really enjoyed this video! What a wonderful and interesting man Mr. Todd is😄👍
I'm so glad to see this. I was brought up on local cane syrup
This man could make good shine cause he knows his process and temps .
What a wonderful film, great job. Mr Todd is an amazing man, carrying on the traditions of old, that used to be ways of living. We had sugarcane growing on our place when I was young and we used to eat it. My first recollection of cane syrup was my parents taking me to a syrup making place somewhere in Georgia around 1960 or so. It was a mule powered operation, and I got to taste that juice coming out of it prior to it becoming syrup. I have enjoyed it ever since. I have always since loved cane syrup. Mr. Todd explains the process so well. I wish I could do it.
Your documentary style of shooting is very nice. Great work
Well, he's right. We young folk (i am 65) don't know nuthin' bout nuthin'. We eat out a lot, or buy pre-made meals or meal kits, we don't make our own clothes but order from Chins, and we don't have any survival skills. I enjoyed this video...think I will buy some seeds and plant some tomatoes to start.
Thank you so much! We grew A little cane as children and it was so wonderful just to chew on the cane, it is delicious.I wish I had A place where I could have chicken's and grow cane now.
Splendid...Splendid!
Headland Alabama. Lots of my Sellers relatives there.
My family now lives in North Florida. We have family from Headland, Newville, and Abbyville. As you saw, my uncle David grinds with a mule. I shot my story on S-VHS and I'd like to redo the show as I have better equipment. Humm... The Todds and I may be related.
You should! And wouldn't that be cool if you were connected to the Todds? Definitely make the road trip up to Headland if you get the chance. Mr. Todd is a wonderful man and he has tons of great items in his store. From cane syrup to molasses, to jams and jellies.
My family came from Headland, AL
I really enjoyed being there. Really nice square in the old downtown area. And Mr. Todd was really kind to share with me his life on camera.
