 Our Old-Fashioned Red Corn Meal is ground from organic red corn, a vibrant corn that has a tangy flavor.  This is a perfect accompaniment for your southwestern dishes.  Try it in your favorite recipes calling for corn meal for a flavorful and colorful change.  Native American Indians believe that each type of corn is associated with the four directions.  Red Corn belongs to the West, in the direction of the setting sun and signifies longevity.

Miller's Tale 
 
Our open house events remind me of the story of stone soup.  At our mill, in the small village of Usquepaugh, we built a fire, added water and put in the stones.  My intention was to create a venue where local businesses could come together, join a support system and show off what they do best.  I have been so pleased with the responses from vendors and friends, both old and new.  Many local businesses and farms have availed themselves the opportunity to exhibit for free.  The result thus far has been very impressive.  It has been an honor to be a part of a group of people who work together as a team, setting up, unloading trucks and sharing information to help promote, share and cross market the business diversity that we are blessed with in this state.
 
I do appreciate our participants offering what they can...whether it be, tables, linens, or $20 and a bag of blueberries.  Nearly 2,000 people made the pilgrimage to the mill during the last day of our last event.  Our visitors contributed by donating over 2,000 pounds of food and clothing for the less fortunate this year.  The media and photographers contributed by letting everyone know what's cooking!  I would like to offer a personal thank you for donating in their special way.
 
This is the type of help our businesses and community needs to survive...to create an opportunity...a delicious stew in which we all can enjoy. 
 
Sincerely, Paul Drumm III
