    Kenyon Grist Mill is located in a village in West Kingston Rhode Island called Usquepaugh which is the name I prefer because it's so authentic. A grist mill has existed in this area in one form or another since 1696. Kenyon's, the current incarnation has been in this exact spot since1886 in it's original antique building. They are still using the original granite millstones that were taken from a quarry in Westerly, RI. Kenyon's Grist Mill takes pride in their commitment to preserving the tradition of granite stone grinding of grains. This is the only place that I know of that still grinds grains in the old fashioned way utilizing single pass stone grinding techniques which help retain the integrity of the product as well as the nutritional value. You can stop by the mill to buy their products but you can fortunately also purchase things on-line. Some local supermarkets in southern New England also carry a few Kenyon products. Kenyon's makes whole wheat, graham and buckwheat flours,rye meal and white, yellow, blue or red corn meal. Yep, corn meal comes in that many "colors". They sell a popular brown bread mix which is a local favorite. They also sell my two favorite items which are the Johnny Cake mix and the Clam Cake and Fritter mix. Both are traditional Rhode Island favorites and it's great to be able to make these treats right at home. All the products sold at Kenyon's are pure with no preservatives or additives of any kind. It's worth a visit to see the mill if you're in Rhode Island otherwise I highly recommend ordering their products on-line. Try a making clam cakes or Johnny cakes if you've never had them. They are spectacularly good! P.S. Kenyon's is hosting a Johnny Cake Festival on October 20 and 21st. See their web-site for details.

    A cute location! There's a lot of exciting history in this corn meal company! In one way or another, the property and the company have existed over a century by creating this simple, but necessary, commodity. Their product has become a staple of Rhode Island, with their red and blue boxes gleefully filling store shelves for some time. Their home location includes a small store where you can buy the same products at a respectable price. They also hold a yearly Open House that acts as sort of a small fair, with chowder, clam cakes, johnny cakes, and other goodies made with Kenyon's product. The customer service also has the admirable small town charm. Every sales interaction comes with a story, and in those stories comes history. A fun spot to visit when in the Kingston area.

    Most amazing light and fluffy, easy to make treat.

    The buttermilk and honey pancake mix is incredible. Best pancakes I've had and always a great texture.

    It is the 2nd oldest business in the state, and all of its products are stone milled, the old fashioned way.
