Using the antique mills and grinding the heirloom grains the way it’s been done for generations helps retain the natural oils and flavors of the corn – making Geechie Boy grits some of the most sought-after grits in the country. Restaurants from California to Chicago and from Charleston to Maine are serving dishes made with Geechie Boy grits.” Geechie Boy Mill Heirloom Sea Island Blue Cornmeal,
