A NEW HEIRLOOM CORN WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF | GRINDING GRITS

[@kimmer2799]

I hope he has someone that will continue what he and his forefathers has done.

[@willowbeesnaturally]

My generation remembers the old ways. A lot has been lost. The difference in flavor and aroma in stone ground and store bought is unbelievable. And another thing is when you do it yourself you savor the flavor even more.

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Thank y'all. Absolutely was watching this one intently. Finding the old timers and talking to them is the best way to figure out what to do and how to do it. I can spend hours just listening and learning. If they are willing to share sit down and just listen.

[@k.p.1139]

Me too@

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Absolutely!

[@annhendrick8681]

Absolutely!!!

[@kramitdreams]

I want some white eagle corn seed!! I love that guy. Hope you start selling his seed and he gets a percentage for sharing his knowledge ❤

[@1HorseOpenSlay]

I found some white eagle on easy. My favorite of all time is hopi pink corn. It's glorious. I've been giving the seeds away to as many people as I can.

[@G.W.H.]

Awesome!!!

[@sharvey4236]

It would be great if you could do a Foxfire type series for growing plants in the garden, old tales, and just interview the older generation. All they went through and lessons learned, we are losing all that knowledge ❤

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Great idea!

[@apiecemaker1163]

That is a great idea! I would love watching a series like that, especially with farmers from the south growing heirloom things that I could grow here in 7b.

YES! Please do!

My uncle that lived in Waycross Georgia had a grits mill that ran off the pto on his tractor and it had the screen built in he could grind grits corn meal and corn flour i was about 10 years old and I thought it was amazing but didn't appreciate how useful it was now I'm 74 and wish I had payed attention to a lot of the things the old folks were doing another good show

[@stevelangston2359]

Simply amazing!!!!!!

[@uncledanny7]

I really enjoyed this video installment on heirloom corn. I have never grown the Cherokee white whale corn but have known about it all my life. My granddad used to talk about it when I was growing up how it was what they grew when he was young. He never could find the seed for it so he always grew white prolific.

[@willowbeesnaturally]

I used to grow corn as a child. I ordered some and I grows well. My grandmother used to plant the three sisters. She used to sing, Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care. I remember food tasted back then.

[@pecangrovems]

I grew it several years ago it's a really good corn.

[@charlenejutras1595]

Enjoyable to watch! Mr. Pope is precious! I love how he seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge.

[@lawsonlawnandfarm8073]

Wow that’s awesome! That corn looks just like the corn my grandpa used to grow here in the foothills of NC. I’ve got three ears left from his that have got to be at least 25 years old. I’ve been scared to shell them and plant them to see if the seeds are still good because i hate to loose it if it don’t come up. I’m curious to know if it really is the same because I’ve never seen anymore that looks like it. The closest I’ve found was some hickory king that crossed with jimmy red but it’s not quite the same. Just curious if y’all might eventually have these seeds for sale?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

There may have been some talk…😉

[@rootedandgroundedlife2137]

@@gardeningwithhoss have you eaten any of what he gave you? Curious how the flavor is compared to others you’ve tried. 🤔

[@robertmarino2158]

Amazing equipment , outstanding discussion about what is grinding , thank you !

[@mikew8214]

Thank you Mr Pope! Hoss, assuming Mr Pope will have you, do you think you could get down there for a cane pressing and boiling the juice to syrup? Its an art we're losing. I haven't helped make sorghum syrup in 20+ years so I'm a little to blame for that myself

[@gardeningwithhoss]

ahhh! Now that’s a good idea!

[@Kelly_Mae_C]

I hope y'all will have some of that corn for sale next year. Great video. I'm very interested in that equipment.

[@ronevans852]

Wow, I in joyed that video, I remember my grandma making butter when we went up RomeGa. Back in early 50th.

[@jackwhitehurst964]

I enjoyed the video very much. Can I get the information on how to contact the gentleman that built the Bolter

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We will see what we can do for ya!

[@brandonlewis5178]

Greg, have you ever heard of white nighting field corn? I have some seed that I plant every other year to keep it going. It has stalks that are from 10-15 ft tall and produce big ears of white corn with a few kernels on each ear that are purple. It makes some really good meal.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We will have to check this variety out! Thanks for sharing!

[@rubbernecker13]

Loved this episode! Thanks for showing this Gregg! I market garden in Texas and then dry wash and detect gold in the hot season in Nevada. I felt funny using my bucket classifier screens on my corn ground through a corona hand mill. But before long word got around and I have several old timers in the neighborhood beating down my door for fresh ground good stuff. I didn’t know about the wobbler stand. I use clumps of bushy grass or weeds to rock the bucket on for my gold. Party on Gregg!

[@theorangevestarmy4255]

I bought 25lbs. Of Jimmy Red corn from you folks this year. While filling my corn planter hopper yesterday, I noticed the seed contained several white kernels and many dull purple kernels and many broken kernels. Is this typical of Jimmy Red? I've grown heirloom corn varieties for decades, and I've dealt with many suppliers. My best crop ever was last year, I grew 3 acres of Trucker's Favorite White, most stalks were 12' and taller, some were 15', and most of the ears were huge, 22 & 24 rows of kernels per cob, most ears were 12", some were 15". The corn ears were so big that they would feed through my antique sheller.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You can pick the whites out. Jimmy red throws a few whites.

[@ccpirogue]

We need part 2, you left too much on the table over there. Very interesting individual, Mr. Poke is an inspiration, a guiding light and needed during these times, I think he can contribute alot to our younger generation. Very good video just too short. Thank both of you for making it happen.

I loved this video. I think you have ventured into a very fertile area of interest. This is very important information!!!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for a great video! I really enjoyed that. Be careful wobbling that bucket or mama Hoss will have you wobbling the laundry... lol

[@k.p.1139]

I think they taste better

Thanks for showing us this. I'll never be able to get any of that equipment but I do have and old fasion hand crank bur grinder. I enjoyed seeing how that all works.

Awesome video. Enjoyed the visited demonstration and the visited discussion/instruction tremendously.

[@jhutto3814]

I know you're gonna let us know how you like the taste of that corn, and I'm also going to bet you tried some of it as soon as you got home. Probably for breakfast this morning too.

[@hippiegirl5167]

The ants ate all of my corn this year. I was so disappointed

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Oh no! Hate that BUT you can grow more! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@rootedandgroundedlife2137]

Great video! Lovely gentleman. I am just switching from growing sweet corn to grinding dent corn. This year I'm growing a popcorn that can grind. I'm not sure of the flavor yet. I am wondering what is the best for flavor for grits and corn meal. I considered switching to hoppi but am not sure my kids will eat blue corn bread. What is the best for growing and grinding for corn flavor in your opinion. Thank you for your time.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Have you ever tried Jimmy Red? You won't be disappointed! Some of the best grits and corn meal you'll ever eat.

[@kaygalloway4315]

Fascinating. I would love to try some of this beautiful corn. Loved listening to this discussion on how he processes his corn.

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Around 19:35 Greg is commenting on the bottle of cane sugar syrup, he remarks it is Pope Farm pure sugar cane syrup. And at 21:05 Mr Pope made a very important point about corn syrup and it is very hard to find anything without corn syrup in it these days. Mr Pope sounded to me like he is proud of his sugar cane syrup and so I am wondering if Pope Farm has a store? I didn't see any links to their business in the description. I did a google search and found some literature on making the syrup but not a store. Can Greg or Shiela please let me know, thank you.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

He does not sale it, just does for his family

[@rogerfranks6705]

Great post! Hopefully you can start that variety of corn, and in a few years have it available for retail sales. There is no education like can be obtained than from our older farmers. Thanks again for that.

[@susantaylor8507]

Yes when they grind the corn commercial they o add stuff and take out same way with the wheat berries when flour is grinding commercially

[@MartieMc]

"Most cornmeal has been degermed, with oil from the germ put to use in making vegetable oil. Some, but not all, of the nutrients lost when corn is degermed are restored in enriched cornmeal." They take out the most flavorful parts to make oil. Also the cornmeal won't go rancid as fast with the fatty part taken out. But of course we don't have that problem with freshly ground.

[@charleshowell7855]

Thanks for sharing! Education is the cheapest way to do anything.

[@joeaaronsen]

The change in flavor isn't from genetic engineering or fortification (both very good things), it is simply that commercial corn has been breed for yield first, not flavor. The result is we get really productive corn and cheap feed for animals, but the the taste has suffered. This has been very common for most crops and why heirloom crops, while not commercially viable, often taste better.

[@richard-greatwhiterev]

loved this episode.....informative for someone looking to get started into milling

[@340wbymag]

I have a suggestion for classifying into a bucket. Place a small handful of stones into the screen to shake round with the corn, and it will classify your corn faster. The stones will help to prevent the corn from massing together, so it doesn't just slide as one piece across the screen.

[@floridacoder]

My family lives near there and it was real nice seeing how the old timers get things done. I'm trying to find some land in or near Morven to have a crack at farming myself, and would love to get some of that corn seed.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

A great place to live!

[@floridacoder]

@gardeningwithhoss hard place to find acreage. I've been barking up every tree I can find. Not even my own grandfather has land to sell me and he has plenty. Any tips on finding about 20 acres of good land for market gardening in Brooks County close to Morven? I plan to help my family farm on a bigger scale and learn everything I can doing that, but want a small patch of my own before I move there.

I don't care if something's genetically modified; the problem is that corporations have homogenized seed which reduces variety.
