Locke’s Mill grits win accolades

Our grits were named a Made in Virginia award-winner by Virginia Living and featured in the magazine’s December 2023 issue. Calling them “a clear winner,” Virginia Living described our Certified Organic stone-ground grits as “fluffy, hearty, and never dry,” adding that they are “perfectly suitable for sweet and savory preparations and are slightly moist and nutty-flavored.”

About Locke's Mill

Locke’s Mill — located along the Shenandoah River just outside the town of Berryville in Clarke County, Virginia — is a restored gristmill known for its naturally delicious heritage grains, flours and baking mixes. Historically, it was one of many mills in the area that provided grinding services for grains coming over the Appalachian passes from the Shenandoah and Ohio Valleys for sale in large coastal cities. Originally an 18th-century double mill site, the present building dates to 1876 and ran two mill wheels. The mill had the second wheel assembly restored and Certified USDA Organic in 2017. Today, Locke’s Mill maintains a two-and-a-half-century tradition of local milling, providing custom grinding services for local distillers, bakers, restaurants, and other customers.
