To answer your question about the grist mill, I don't think you have to pay an admission fee to buy cornmeal. I haven't bought from them yet since I still have some cornmeal in my pantry. Once I do, I will let you know. Thanks for all the info on your other local sources-- this is really helpful! Hi again!

If it were Spanish, it could be a tapas dish at Jaleo! That asparagus and egg dish looks so good! If it were Spanish, it could be a tapas dish at Jaleo!

I think last week's bunch in our CSA bag may have been the last for us, they were pretty tough and woody. Fortunately I have a few in the freezer, plus a bit of pesto, for a treat later in the year. And you're welcome for the suggestions! @ Avra - Enjoy your scape pesto! I think last week’s bunch in our CSA bag may have been the last for us, they were pretty tough and woody.

And that's so close to me. Do you have to pay admission just to buy flour? I bought "Indian Head" cornmeal from <a href="http://www.wrmills.com/ourcornmeals.html" rel="nofollow">Washington Quality Foods</a> at the grocery store. They're a family-owned company headquartered in Ellicott City, MD, though I haven't found anything to suggest the corn actually comes from Maryland. There's the <a href="http://www.oldwyemill.org/" rel="nofollow">Wye Mill</a> over on the Eastern Shore, but I can't tell from their website if they sell more than plain white flour. We'll probably go visit sometime this summer anyway. I found another one in Virginia, <a href="http://www.byrdmill.com/default.asp" rel="nofollow">Byrd's Mill</a> down by Richmond, that sells white, wheat, buckwheat and corn meal. @ Tiffany - I forgot about the Mount Vernon mill!

Mount Vernon's gristmill also has cornmeal. . . . I have been trying to research sources of local grains and not coming up with a lot of options. I did find one that's three hours away in the Shenandoah Valley-- Wade's Mill-- which offers wheat flour, white flour, buckwheat, and polenta. But, three hours is a long drive. . . .
