[Gristmillers] Meadows 24" mill

[Stacey Freeman]

We are located in Georgia and are a licensed grits mill.  If the goal is to
sell food product (non restaurant) in this state such as Grits/meal/flour,
syrup, honey, wine, jellies, sauces, etc the establishment, process, &
ingredients must be licensed and inspected. To give away your product does
not require licensing.  

As far as our equipment is concerned, the Ga Department of Agriculture
inspectors and FDA inspectors work together and look to make certain the
equipment is clean (for milling equipment), we have rodent and bug control,
and our bags and packaging are correct, and scales weigh correctly.  Our DOA
inspectors are very concerned about maintaining the historical integrity of
our mill and work very well with me in doing that.  We do have to us food
grade lubricants.   Our corn and wheat are inspected and tested as are our
finished products.  Because we are a farm and carry farm insurance our
insurance covers product of the farm.  Georgia does not require insurance
though.

Hope this gives some information for Georgia...Florida is similar but there
are differences.

I would be interested in hearing about the insurance issues, FDA items as
well as any other regulations.............I think that it could be a part of
this discussion because it does relate to milling, unless that is against
the rules?  Please explain if you don't mind.

Thank you,
