We're family & veteran-owned, and have been milling with care for generations. Join our VIP Club for exclusive offers! Our Story: A Legacy Ground in Tradition
Palmetto Farms is a family-owned corn milling company with deep roots in the heart of Horry County, South Carolina. Our story began in 1934, when James Graham started grinding locally grown corn to feed his family and farm. It didn’t take l
ong for the exceptional quality of his grits and cornmeal to earn a reputation—not just throughout Horry County, but across the border into North Carolina. As demand grew, James expanded his operation, transitioning from small-batch family use to full-scale commercial production. The tradition and craftsmanship he established have been passed down through generations—now in the capable hands of his grandson, David Dorman, and great-grandsons, Andrew and Devin Dorman. Today, Palmetto Farms remains committed to the same core values that started it all: quality, flavor, and heritage. Our stone-ground grits and cornmeal are made from premium, non-GMO certified white and yellow whole grain corn, milled with care using time-honored methods that preserve texture and taste. Though we've embraced some modern efficiencies, our process remains rooted in tradition. As of 2022, we’ve proudly held the title of #1 Best-Selling Grits on Amazon for seven consecutive years, and you can now find our products in grocery stores across the U.S. We’re also proud to welcome you to our new Palmetto Farms Country Store, located at:
715 S. Aynor, SC 29511

Alongside our grits and cornmeal, you’ll find locally sourced jams, jellies, honey, sauces, spices, candies, fudge, kettle corn, roasted peanuts, homemade peanut butter, and much more.
