Reviving Jimmy Red Cornmeal: A Success Story of Marsh Hen Mill

Greg dedicated eight years to cultivating this unique variety on Edisto Island, starting with preserved kernels from James Islander Ted Chewning.

Indigo Popcorn

Our Indigo Popcorn begins as tiny, jewel-like kernels of deep indigo blue, each with a rock-hard shell that guards the soft, tender center. Heat transforms them in a dramatic explosion. Trapped moisture turns to steam, building pressure until the kernel bursts open with a satisfying pop, revealing the airy, snow-white flake inside.

But the magic isn’t just visual. Once popped, Indigo Popcorn offers a delicate, slightly nutty sweetness, with a hint of corn’s natural earthiness. Each fluffy bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it both fun to eat and irresistibly flavorful. Whether enjoyed plain or lightly seasoned, it’s a playful, colorful twist on a classic snack—where the experience is as delightful as the taste.

The kernels are a warm, pumpkin color in this beautiful heirloom strain. Sturdy and full bodied, Guinea Flint corn makes hearty grits. 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. These are definitely worth the extra cook time!

Black-eyed peas carry not only a distinctive flavor but also a rich cultural and historical significance. A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, traditionally, they were associated with luck and prosperity when eaten on New Year’s Day. Culinarily, black-eyed peas are prized for their creamy texture and earthy, nutty flavor that absorbs seasonings beautifully. They form the base of many classic dishes, from Hoppin’ John, to stews and salads across the Southern and coastal United States. Over centuries, their flavor profile has become intertwined with the smoky, savory, and spicy notes of Southern cooking, reflecting a fusion of African, European, and Native American influences.
