Jimmy Red Grits are a success story for Marsh Hen Mill and for all those who believe in reviving good things from the past that have been forgotten. Greg spent eight years cultivating the almost-extinct variety of kernels on Edisto Island. This mission all started with a few preserved samples from James Islander Ted Chewning. Sean Brock was interested in bringing back the variety to his restaurants and Greg and the family were able to help make that happen. 

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!

Our Heirloom Speckled Grits are Stone Ground to perfection to give you a creamy delicious bowl of grits no matter what your preference! A perfect mixture of our white and yellow grits, that give you a slightly different flavor profile than either one has on its own. A blend of the two products that we started with gives you the best of both worlds. 

Our Heirloom White Grits are Stone Ground to perfection to give you a creamy delicious bowl of grits every time you cook them. Milled from premium White Dent Corn, the sugar content is a little higher in these grits and milder than yellow. Our screens create the perfect coarse grind to ensure the sugars stay intact. Multiple generations of farmers can’t be wrong. 

Our Heirloom Yellow Grits are Stone Ground to perfection to give you a creamy delicious bowl of grits with a bold corn flavor. Milled from premium Yellow Dent Corn, the earthiness and oil flavors come through as they cook. Our screens create the perfect coarse grind to ensure the oils and flavor stay intact. 

Tradition is what comes to mind when we think of the polenta. Originating in Northern Italy, polenta had a humble beginning, but it is now one of the most famous staples in kitchens around the world.  Made from whole-grain corn and milled fresh, our polenta preserves the full spectrum of natural oils and flavors locked in the kernel, resulting in a richer, more complex taste compared to industrially processed versions. When prepared with care, it develops a silky, almost custard-like consistency that still retains a pleasant beaded texture—tiny, tender grains that give the dish body and character.
