1940 Grist Mill in ACTION! Homemade GRITS and CORNMEALMEADOWS

[@pecangrovems]

Good morning everyone

[@Frankie_902]

GOOD MORNING WANDA & DANNY❣️ I sure hope you're getting some of this, much needed, rain that we're getting here in Lucedale. Lord🙌 we welcome it.

[@pecangrovems]

@Frankie_902 got 1 7/8 inch

[@staceysmith4971]

You are so blessed to be able to do all that you and Mrs. Wanda do together as a team. When I was very young I can remember when my grandfather and my dad would grow gardens to feed the family. If you think about it those were the good times. When harvest time came in it was all hands on deck. Thank yall for the good memories.

[@1972BRJ]

You can't get any better than that right there! An older gentleman told me years ago the same thing about the cornmeal forming a ball in your hand, that's perfect meal! Also he said the dryer the corn was the less grits you would have. I have that exact mill that I hope to restore and use one day, I have a belt pulley on my 8n that should turn it with no problem. Enjoy watching this kind of content. Thanks y'all! Brandon

[@franpaterno486]

That wall of corn is beautiful. Glad you got it finished for cornmeal and grits’s. The world would be better if we could work together like they did in the good old days. My mom used to talk about people helping each other not the Government help.

[@CamisAcre]

This is one of the reasons I love your channel. I don't have any older people around me with this kind of knowledge and I appreciate you teaching what you know so that I can learn. I may never use a grist mill, but just knowing about it may be a benefit in the future.

[@terrycurtis3611]

Finally checking out Pecan Grove and I am LOVING IT!! Y’all are amazing: Growing your own corn, harvesting and drying it, and now milling it!!!! HOLY MOSES! That is impressive. We’re all doing the best we can - but y’all are CADILLAC-KING! Get it? CadillacKing!

[@tammydayfl]

I think giving corn flour, corn meal, etc is a wonderful gift and anyone would be blessed to get it. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

What a blessing you and Wanda can do all this! As Wanda says this is awesome! ❤️

[@beverlymichael5830]

That is amazing how much corn you were able to grind in a short time. I could watch it being ground all day long. Beautiful flour.

[@BeverlyJohnson-ro8xo]

Food is truly a blessing in this day and age that's for sure

[@tammiestafford3471]

Good morning Mrs Wanda and Mr Danny ❤️

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

I could watch this all day. Old equipment just intrigues me looking at the engineering back in the day. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day.

[@janis6697]

I like the idea of giving food as gifts for Christmas.

[@teresak550]

Now that is what I call smart. Prepping and gift giving. Know it makes the work worth iy

[@StormWarningMom]

That tractor is just like the little mini version my dad gave me when I was a kid... he said it was just like the tractor his dad (my grampa) used to use on his farm in NY. Every time I see you use it, it reminds me of him.

[@shanesherry717]

you both are amazing at everything you do we been watching your channels both channels for a bit now i have one question i see in the background you have a apple cider press machine ive been always wanting to get one can you do a video on your apple mill for me please also were did you purchase it at? thank you both for your great videos

[@pecangrovems]

We will be using it to squeeze our muscadines before long.

[@sueyates3555]

You are so blessed to do all the hard work and get this in return. And I would say that would be the best gift ever is something homemade then store-bought.. keep you both in my prayers. And God bless you both.🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@rogerpadgett3189]

Mr Danny we had a neighbor who ground meal a long time he said he could grind a Bushel tn fifteen minutes but he grou.nd all the time Saturday you had to wait your turn Lucky We own the mill thank you to

[@trishschultz2749]

Fresh cornmeal and grits,,,, there is no comparison. ❤️❤️

[@fotoejunkee6247]

Fresh corn meal tastes so much better than the stuff you get in the store. I only had a pound or so of the fresh stuff and, boy, did I miss it when I ran out. 🌽

[@pecangrovems]

So true!

[@jvin248]

Instead of buying cloth bags to gift the corn in, get cotton painters drop cloths at the hardware, often 9x12ft for

[@janis6697]

Maybe one of your grandchildren can make the cotton bags.

[@pattybrumbaugh3758]

Fresh ground cornmeal is fantastic. What is better is the labor of love taking it from seed to table. God has blessed you both and us getting to take the journey with you. So much knowledge being shared. Have a lovely day.

[@gailstark1688]

The cornmeal looks beautiful. I wish I could smell it. ❤

[@jerryhuntjj2885]

Good-looking corn meal

[@JoyceSwansey]

I’m sure your friends and family will appreciate a gift of your flour.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Amazing, you have perfected the 1940 Grist Mill operation as good as the day it was new. I'm so glad it has worked out fantastic for y'all. I'm still waiting for the Utility engine for my portable set up.

[@pecangrovems]

It is still a learning experience. But I'm getting there.

[@jcrich-ho9ot]

Just watching you work with the ground corn is making me crave some grits, cornbread, and hoe cakes! It would be such a blessing to get some of your cornbread as a gift. I am sure those receiving it will be thankful. Now, I need to get busy making some corn bread! May your day be filled with joy!

[@StormWarningMom]

Time to make cornbread!! 🤗

[@deedeemcmillian9320]

I just enjoyed watching the VIDEOS ❤

[@bryanlloyd1099]

That corn flour turned out awesome!

[@JoyceSwansey]

I AM HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH

[@tammiestafford3471]

I'm telling you I'd love some of your grits corn meal and corn flour. Looks amazing.

[@lindadykes4040]

That sure is pretty cornmeal. May Jesus bless you and keep you and your family. Continued prayers for you and Wanda . Much love 💖✝️

[@KimAtHomesteadDaze]

Love the idea of gifting food this year!

[@sengelmohr]

That is some great looking corn flour. You just can't beat getting home grown food as a gift. ❤

[@tammiestafford3471]

I watched yall on my big TV. Love watching and really enjoyed it. God bless

[@cherylb.9766]

It would be pretty cool to be gifts some Danny corn meal ❤

[@NancyHuff-yt5fs]

Beautiful meal. God is good all the time!

[@lindamay2630]

Thank you, loved watching this, brought back so many memories! I swear I could almost smell that corn! Lol

[@nedcarter6553]

Knowledge is good ❤❤❤

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

You can vacuum seal some and then it will keep for along time! Looks yummy!

[@AlleyCat-1]

You just gave me an idea. I can make my dad some cornbread for Christmas, I have to try to make cornbread stuffing, but we never measured or kept track of the spices we used. Lol he just grabbed stuff he thought would taste good, except now he can't handle spice (hot) anymore, so it'll be tricky. But that's 1 thing I didn't ever make with my baked goods.

[@chickencoop4439]

It looks beautiful!

[@winnonadc2665]

It looks amazing !!

[@rikwen96]

That is some beautiful corn meal and grits. My grandparents used to raise their corn and then take it to a local grist mill to get it ground. My grandfather's favorite supper was cornbread and buttermilk. We also had grits for breakfast a lot of mornings. Good memories.

[@tammytackitt8713]

Love your channel and I bet that would make beautiful corn pudding

[@richardschaffling9882]

I don’t know what happened but nobody by me got any corn this year I am thinking it was the weather and your grits look yummy

[@lanagonzalez3359]

Hey, watching you grinding the corn the old fashioned way, nice to see! Just thinking should you put some sort of collar around the container on the ground to prevent any of the grind corn from not dropping straight down ? Looks like some is landing on the ground. I know how frugal you are. I wished y’all offered us some Danny corn cornmeal or grits . ❤️ Y’all take care. Ps, you just answered what I asked in my comment, I wrote before listening to the whole video! How thoughtful, thank you! ❤️ Take care, Love you! 🙏❤️

[@Jomama02]

Looks wonderful! Wish we had smell-o-vision! We always called them ho cakes. No syrup. Just fried in lard and a touch of butter! Usually at the end of the month before we made a big trip to grocery store.

[@nancyplank1651]

Beautiful!!!! Hard work pays off! So Blessed! Prayers for y'all.

[@dianaspaw4875]

I bet that is going to be delicious 😋

[@chriswinger7881]

So much labor of love ❤️ 😍. I find it so satisfying to be able to put food up for future eating. I've been stocking up running out of room in my closet and everything i can find room for it. God bless you Danny and Wanda.

[@JoyceSwansey]

Wanda did you hide that other shifter? 😂😂😂

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

What a great video!

[@BrendaLeigh1630]

Yum yum yum! 🌽

[@glendawolfe4231]

Beautiful

[@grettaramses1510]

Good video very cool milling the field corn Thank you!

[@pecangrovems]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Jtwes]

That’s some beautiful corn mill. I’m interested also how long it will keep in those bags.

[@pecangrovems]

We're hoping at least two years.

[@vickisavage8929]

I suspicion that you may have home pressed oils by Christmas, because the Piteba is on its way to the address as of today. 😁

[@PatriciaTasker]

I had no idea from where saying came. Thank you. "NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE". The best cornbread is not made with flour rather corn flour and corn meal.

[@markbrooks5278]

Hey Danny, what if you took a multi tool and attached that sieve to it to shake it? 😊

[@markbrooks5278]

Or even a battery powered sawzall?

[@pecangrovems]

That's a thought.

[@enisasefer1074]

❤❤💙💙that would be amazing gift 💝 😊

[@curtisking2962]

Good morning

[@pecangrovems]

Morning

[@emilyb5972]

Morning💕💕nj

[@lesliehare2377]

BEAUTIFUL. How long will this last you?

[@pecangrovems]

Hopefully two years.

[@DarleneWright-n3v]

Mercy! That's good lookin corn meal. Your hard work has paid off. What's the shelf life of corn meal?

[@pecangrovems]

A long time not sure just how long.

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

That's what I call "homemade to the bone".

[@dmark6699]

Plenty of grits and cornbread for breakfast.

[@vickisavage8929]

Some of my earliest memories are of asking people with white hair for stories, because they generally had the best stories and were more likely to have the time to tell them. I have long since learned that I can learn from ANYONE, especially from another culture, if I take the time to listen. The Lord wasn’t joking about what comes from the mouths of babes or of the importance of early instruction in His Word and wisdom.

[@Grace_N_Gardens]

From start to finish, how many hours do you have invested in the corn from seed to storage?

[@pecangrovems]

Don't really know

[@texaschopper3091]

Thumbs up.

[@JoeyNeal]

Great video Danny I enjoy your videos and learning from you and other KZbinrs just to give you a idea check a video I made to show Joey at Jtwes how I sift my cornmeal it works pretty well if you think it would be something you would be interested in making for you I can tell you how I came up with the system I use just offering

[@vickyboyer2384]

You said you put it in freezer. At what stage did you do that?

[@vickyboyer2384]

Ill bet someone would love danny seed corn as a giveaway.

[@pecangrovems]

After it's shelled off the cob.

[@pistachio57]

What is grits? Is it a hot cereal kind of thing? I’ve never had it that I know of.

[@pecangrovems]

It's polenta that hasn't been solidified and is creamy.

[@annwitzel9630]

No cane ? you healed quick

[@pecangrovems]

It happened after this.

[@txmckenzie4740]

I had grits this morning, but i know they didn't taste better than yours.

[@Astewa1234]
