At Freeman's Mill, we use only the finest, locally grown corn, wheat, and other grains (as requested). Our Grits and Corn Meal are ground on our 100+ year old granite mills. One of the mills is a 42" Cole flat rock mill and the other is a 24" Davis vertical mill; both mills were built in Georgia. Our Flour is milled on a 100 year old Midget Marvel 50 Barrel Mill. Our mill is powered by a Continental 1 Cylinder Cotton Gin Engine that dates to the 1930's and weighs in excess of 10 tons.

The highest quality of our product is of chief concern to us. Our mill and products are licensed and regularly inspected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

2 Cups Freeman's Grits

4 Cups Water

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Tablespoons Margarine (optional)

Bring the water to a boil; add grits stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to simmer and add salt and margarine. Cook on low heat stirring often at least 30 minutes. Add more water as needed to obtain consistency desired. The longer they cook the better they get! Add your favorite Cheese for great cheese grits! Crock-pots work great for cooking Grits. To prevent burns, keep cooking grits covered- they tend to pop.

2 Cups Freeman's Self Rising Corn Meal

1/2 Cup Freeman's Self Rising Flour

1 1/2 to 2 Cups Butter Milk

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 Eggs Beaten

1/4 Cup cooking oil (canola)

Mix all ingredients except the oil. Heat oil in a deep 10-12" skillet. Pour hot oil into mixture and stir. Pour mixture into skillet and bake 20 minutes or until brown on top in a 350-375 degree oven. This mixture can be used for corn sticks or muffins.

3 Cups Freeman's Self-Rising Flour (Bleached or Plain)

1/8-Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Cup Crisco

1 1/2 Cups Butter Milk

Combine dry ingredients; cut Crisco into dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender. Mix in buttermilk to a stiff dough consistency. Divide dough into three lumps and flour the dough balls. Roll out the dough to about 3/4" thick and cut using a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place on greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until brown in a 350 Degree oven. Makes about 12 biscuits.
