McEwen & Sons

The newest part of the of the business is the addition of a stone burr grist in which the McEwen’s mill only the finest organic corn into some of the most delicious cornmeal, grits and polenta products available today. The grist mill turns out yellow, white and blue cornmeal, grits and polenta. The products are sold in specialty food stores, the Wilsonville store and in some of Birmingham’s finest restaurants. Products are sealed in a heavy-duty royal blue bag with the attractive McEwen family crest on the label.

The “McEwen & Sons” on the label include Frank, Jr., 12 and Luke, 11. These two partners may be a little too young to run the grist mill, but their part of the family business provides the ideal accompaniment: big, rich, brown and blue eggs. The boys raise their own chicken in an antibiotic and hormone-free environment. The fresh eggs are gathered daily from cage-free hens that are fed only natural feed that contains no antibiotics, hormones, or animal protein and their regular customers swear by the fresh, farm taste.
