“The only gluten-free grits we could find were yellow grits from another company & they just didn’t stack up to white grits. Then I discovered Palmetto Farms! White grits & gluten-free!!! These grits are delicious. Thank you Palmetto Farms!”

Nutritional Value and Educational Impact:
Stone-ground grits, unlike their more processed counterparts, retain much of the natural fiber and nutrients found in the whole corn kernel. This makes them a more nutritious option, particularly important for school children who require wholesome, energy-rich foods for their growing bodies and minds. The inclusion of Palmetto Farms grits in school menus offers a whole grain alternative, aligning with nutritional guidelines and promoting healthier eating habits among students. The grits provide essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and trace minerals, contributing to a balanced diet.
Culinary Versatility:
The medium consistency of Palmetto Farms grits strikes a perfect balance between coarse and fine textures. This versatility makes them suitable for a range of dishes, from traditional Southern breakfasts to modern culinary creations. Their ability to absorb flavors and maintain a desirable texture under various cooking methods makes them a favorite in commercial kitchens, where consistency and quality are paramount.
Sustainable and Local Sourcing:
In a time when consumers and institutions are increasingly conscious of the origins of their food, Palmetto Farms stands out for its commitment to non-GMO, US sourced corn. This approach not only supports US agriculture but also ensures a lower carbon footprint and promotes sustainable farming practices. By choosing Palmetto Farms, schools and restaurants are not only serving nutritious meals but also contributing to the local economy and environmental sustainability.
A Taste of Southern Heritage:
The use of stone-ground grits is deeply rooted in Southern culinary tradition. By incorporating Palmetto Farms grits into their menus, schools and restaurants are not just offering a meal; they are sharing a piece of Southern heritage. This aspect of cultural preservation is particularly significant in educational settings, where it can be used to teach students about regional history and culinary practices.
In summary, Palmetto Farms’ stone-ground white grits are more than just a food product; they are a blend of nutritional value, culinary versatility, sustainable practices, and cultural heritage, making them an exemplary choice for various food service applications.
Palmetto Farms: A Timeline of Tradition and Quality
- 1934: Foundation and Beginnings
James Graham built and began operating a stone mill in northeast South Carolina, marking the start of a legacy in grits and corn meal production for local families, neighbors, and customers. - 1960s: Early Involvement
David, the grandson of James Graham, spent his summers as a boy working on the family farm, ingraining a deep connection with the family business from a young age. - 1994: Continuing the Legacy
The company saw a significant transition as David Dorman, representing the third generation, took the helm as the owner of the family business, continuing the tradition and passion for quality. - 2007: A Focused Vision
The Palmetto Farms brand was officially established with a dedicated focus on producing one specialty product: high-quality, old-fashioned, stone-ground grits. This move positioned Palmetto Farms as a leading producer in America of all-natural stone-ground grits. - 2011: Expansion and Growth
Responding to increasing demand, Palmetto Farms expanded its operations with David’s sons, Devin and Andrew, joining the business. This marked the involvement of the fourth generation in the family enterprise. - 2015: Cultural Recognition
In a nod to the company’s impact and the cultural significance of grits in the region, the Mayor of Conway, SC, declared April 14th as “Eat South Carolina Grits Day,” celebrating the state’s culinary heritage. - 2023: Present-Day Excellence
Palmetto Farms continues to uphold the high standards set since its inception. The company offers the same quality grits and corn meal that have been produced since the beginning, available both online and in local grocery stores, ensuring that customers everywhere can enjoy the creamy, stone-ground goodness.

Stephanie Elliott –
I bought these grits at a gift shop in an old grist mill near Charlottesville. Finally, I have found stone-ground grits that are soft and creamy and don’t require an extended cooking time or pre-soaking. I follow the recipe on the bag and the grits are perfect every time. I’ve tried many other stone-ground varieties and have always been disappointed until I found these. I will continue to get the grits through the Palmetto Farms website so I never have to be without good grits again!

When I was a young girl back in the 50’s my mother would prepare grits, eggs (over easy) and bacon for my father before he left for work. He would cut the eggs into the grits and crumble the bacon into a pile on his plate and dig in. This was the family breakfast every single day of the week. I thought everyone had grits for breakfast. We had deep roots in the south. Now my parents are gone and I am old and it seemed like good grits would be just a memory until I ran across your website. My husband and I just finished breakfast. Your grits are exactly what I remember. Thank you.

My husband & I both have celiac disease so we needed to make sure the grits we eat are gluten free. I grew up eating white grits. The only gluten free grits we could find were yellow grits from another company & they just didn’t stack up to white grits. Then I discovered Palmetto Farms! White grits & gluten free!!! These grits are delicious. We are so happy to have 1 of our old familiar comfort foods back. Plus we love the fact that there is no chance of gluten cross contamination when you choose Palmetto Farms products. They understand celiacs. Thank you Palmetto Farms!

Best Stone Ground Grits ever. Rad family owned company. They actually care about their products, community and environment and it shows. IF you haven’t tried them… Get some now!
Beth Wilson –
Best grits in the world! Once you try these, you will never go back to the store bought kind again. NON-GMO and stone ground – it doesn’t get any better than that.
And I love the cotton bags these come in.
Katie M. –
Honestly the best grits I have ever eaten or cooked. My family loves grits, and it has reached the point that my kids order grits when we go out to eat and comment that the grits are not as good as the ones mama makes at home… and its not ME. Its Palmetto Farms Grits!
David –
I’m so sad that you guys don’t ship outside the US. For us transplanted southerners needing a grits fix, we ain’t gonna get it here, even though yours is by far the best grits available. C’mon folks, geez, it’s really easy. Throw the bag(s) into an international priority shipping box, slap the address on it and let the postman pick it up. Sure, the poor buyer has to pay a much higher shipping cost, but hey, that’s the cost of getting your fix. Think about it please!
The last time I had Palmetto was when I made a trip back to the US and bought 4 bags on Amazon and carried them back with me. The day I used the last bit was the day I cried. These are the creamiest, smoothest, tastiest stone ground grits out there. I miss them!
