What’s in the store that’s local, organic, and real? Wife has a recipe and requires grits. She went and everything she found is some gmo, bio engineered blah blah BS.
 
Several local boys done good in SC I could recommend
 
Any local feed mill should have some.
 
Not calling you a damn yankee or anything, but you mean you don't KEEP grits in the house all the time? And what the heck is a grits recipe?? Grits, water, salt, pepper, butter.

:stirthepot:

Seems that the keyword to use is "heritage". So search "heritage grits north carolina".

Have you checked Dunrovin?
 
We try to keep Lakeside Grits in the house. Not sure if that is what you are looking for but we enjoy them. NC based company too I believe.
 
Our company makes stone ground grits, white and yellow, amongst lots of other dry products. I sent him a link to our website but yall pimping other folks grits is tearing my nerves up so I guess ill post it out for everyone if youre so inclined 🤣 If youre in eastern NC, our stuff can be found in most all the piggly wigglys or IGAs and some walmarts and food lions. Carlie C's will have pretty much everything. Coles produce at the state farmers market has all our retail items.

Fairly certain I have not seen those ate the local Pig which is the only place in Camden that I have been able to find yellow grits. I will be looking for them now that I'm aware.

That explains that. I love yellow grits and for some reason they are hard to find here in Camden. The Pig is it. I avoid Walmart like the plague. Food Lion has nothing in the yellow flavor.
 
Formerly Geechee Boy - now rebranded to marsh hen out of the SC low country has a cool story. They have ancient seeds without any optimized growth engineering. I know one of the founders a little and got quite the lesson in corn...didnt know that yellow corn naturally is more the exception than the natural rule...Blue and Red corn was more prevalent in the SE due to soil and seed strains...but yellow was more marketable and now we have generations that only know of corn as yellow.
Here is their website:

I will say I have never had @awheelterd 'i.e forever known as Wheel Turd to me', grits, but he gave me a bunch of corn mill..over a decade ago and my wife still raves about it as the best corn bread we have ever had.

Hagood mill is about 5 miles from my house and pretty good.

Next time I'll just blow your shit up vs just making a tag. Still hands down the best ammo trade I've ever made.
 
My personal recipe that I have so far had 0 complaints with is 3.5 cups water, half a cup of heavy cream, 1 tsp salt and 1 cup grits. Bring the water cream and salt to a boil and dump in the grits. Leave the heat on high and bring back to a boil stirring regularly. After it gets to a boil cut the heat back to a simmer and stir regularly for the next few minutes. Our grits are fairly small so they dont take as long to cook as the super coarse ones.

Yes! Nailed it. Gotta have a little lactose for the creaminess.
 
Story time (I thought I'd shared this here before, but didn't find it)

Our Scout troop for years did a BBQ sale. 8-10 of us would stay up the night cooking. One year, I brought breakfast stuff and planned to cook a good breakfast about sunrise. One of they guys went with me up to the church kitchen, and we started. He was in charge of grits. I looked over (remember, there were only 6 of us). He had a big old stock pot of water on the stove, and had already dumped in the grits I brought. The whole bag. And probably 3x the water needed.

Simple, go in the church pantry and get more grits to add to all that water. No grits left. We put the pot on high trying to steam off the water, but saw that would take all day. So, we looked around. I found some instant mashed potato flakes. Dumped them in, and after a while we had some very creamy grits.

Everybody was saying that they were the best grits they ever had. i was laughing so hard I couldn't eat.
