The kernels of guinea flint corn are a warm, pumpkin color in this beautiful heirloom strain. Sturdy and full bodied, Guinea Flint corn makes a hearty cornmeal. Professor David Shields of the University of South Carolina has found that this corn crossed the Atlantic twice, once in pre-Colonial days from the South to Africa, where certain qualities selected by growers. When it returned to the South in the 19th century, the single-ear-per-stalk crop could produce up to eight cobs per stalk. We are extremely happy to be able to offer it to you.

At Marsh Hen Mill, we are excited to release Black Nile Barley, another important crop grown by our farming partners as part of a thoughtful and regenerative crop rotation system. Rotating crops like barley helps improve soil health by naturally breaking pest cycles, increasing biodiversity in the field, and supporting the long-term sustainability of the farm. By incorporating barley into the rotation, one of our farmers is able to build healthier soils while producing a grain that reflects the care and stewardship behind every harvest.

Black Nile Barley also represents our continued commitment to bringing unique and flavorful grains to the table. With its rich color, nutty depth, and earthy complexity, this barley opens the door to a wide range of cooking possibilities. It can be used in hearty soups and stews, folded into grain salads, cooked like risotto, or incorporated into baked goods.

This first release of Black Nile Barley is intentionally limited, allowing us to share something truly special while continuing to learn alongside our farmers, and customers including bakers, brewers, and chefs. We believe deeply in the potential of this grain. If people love working with and cooking with Black Nile Barley as much as we do, it could very well earn a permanent place in our lineup and in our crop rotations for years to come
