Who We Are
In 2002, business owner and miller Frank McEwen Sr. and his father, Ralph, stumbled upon a mill with which they were not so familiar—a stone burr grist mill. Before long, the father-and-son duo were producing high-quality grits made from organic corn and McEwen & Sons was born. Continuing into the third generation of the family business, Frank McEwen Jr. joined his father in 2025. At McEwen & Sons, we continue to keep food as it should be—ensuring our products remain simple, organic, and, in the wise words of Frank Sr., “the way God made them.”
What We’re Loving
McEwen & Sons offers a variety of grits, cornmeal, polenta and more, made with organic ingredients in what we like to call “the old-fashioned way”.

A Word From Our Faithful Customers
-
The McEwens reinvented grits, which was a special mission in the South, because like a lot of Southern food, the life had been processed out of them.

When we think about dishes, we always look for opportunities to add texture. The McEwen & Sons cornmeal doesn't just have rich sweetness, it adds an element of subtle texture.
