In 1965 John and Emma Guenther planted their roots in the small community of Muddy Pond in Tennessee. John and Emma started their family in Muddy Pond. They had seven sons and one daughter. 

​

As the family began to grow so did their knowledge and passion for growing, harvesting and processing sorghum. Three sons have continued their late father, John Gunther's, legacy by taking over and continuing the traditions of Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill. The processing of  Muddy Pond's sorghum is still completed at the original mill from the businesses start in the 1970's. As the family business grows the hard work and neighborly ethics instilled by John and Emma remain.
