From Our Mill to Your Table
Crafted with Purpose, Rooted in Tradition
A mill built on passion, heritage, and Southern grit.
Rooted in Tradition, Ground with Purpose
What started as a childhood fascination became Marsh Hen Mill — a small but mighty operation led by Greg Johnsman, who learned the craft from a third-generation miller and turned an old 1945 mill into a thriving business. Nestled on a sea island in South Carolina, we honor time-tested techniques to bring rich, authentic flavor to your table—one stone-ground batch at a time.

The ultimate Southern comfort food made easy with rich, creamy grits that never fail. This recipe comes straight from Instagram, where we shared our go-to method using old fashioned Marsh Hen Mill grits. Watch the full recipe reel and see how it’s done.
Fail proof creamy Southern grits!!! All you need is water, heavy cream, salt to taste, butter 🧈 and lots of it 😅 and old fashioned grits (I only use @marshhenmill). Make sure you cover the grits but whisk every 3 to 4 mins. It only takes 45 mins to make the best grits you’ve ever tasted in your life 😁🤗

Ingredients List
1 Cup Marsh Hen Mill Stone Ground Grits (any variety)
4 Cups Water
Salt and Butter to taste
Directions
Bring water to a rapid boil in a heavy saucepan (you may start with 3 cups of water and add the 4th as needed while cooking — this may reduce cook time, but will require a closer eye and more stirring).
Add salt and butter.
Add grits and stir well until water boils again.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and continue cooking for about 25 minutes, stirring often and adding water if needed.
Add additional salt and butter to taste.
Will yield about 4 cups of cooked grits.
Cooking time may vary depending on the stove top and the conditions in the kitchen. Elevation and humidity effect cooking times.
