A Word From Our Faithful Customers Frank Stitt, Highland Bar & Grill (in Town & Country magazine) Chef Chris Hastings, Hot and Hot Fish Club, Birmingham, AL
In 1978, Frank McEwen Sr. and his father, Ralph, bought Coosa Valley Milling in the quaint community of Wilsonville, Alabama. Over the next several years, the father-and-son duo expanded the old mill to best serve local farmers and their families. In 2002, Frank Sr. stumbled upon a mill with which he was not so familiar — a stone burr grist mill. With the support of his father, he did what any curious miller would do: he purchased the grist mill first and then decided he might should learn how to run it. Before long, Frank was producing high-quality grits made from organic corn. At that time, renowned chef and co-owner of Highlands Bar and Grill, Frank Stitt, was a customer of Coosa Valley Milling, purchasing farm supplies and feed for his horses. The two Franks became fast friends. Frank Sr. began giving out samples of his product to chefs in Birmingham, Alabama, including Frank Stitt, who quickly became McEwen & Son’s first of many faithful customers. The rest was history. Continuing on in the family business, Frank McEwen Jr. joined his father in 2025. McEwen & Son’s continues to keep food as it should be, ensuring their products remain simple, organic, and, in the wise words of Frank Sr., “the way God made them.” Frank McEwen Sr. with his late father, Ralph McEwen, and his two sons, Frank Jr. and Luke McEwen.
