Grandpa Nathan was the first of a long line of entrepreneurial Calhouns. He settled in the farming town of Monterey, Louisiana, in 1846. Ever the visionary, he built the area's first grist mill to process his bountiful harvest of corn, eliminating the need for dependence on out-of-town mills. Over a hundred years later, Grandson Nathan Patrick Calhoun conceived his idea from Grandpa Nathan. He reasoned that Southern families used hundreds of pounds of cornmeal to bake and fry with each year. Why should they buy from far-away mills when a much better stone-ground product could be produced right on the farm? Patrick formulated his family's favorite recipes using stone-ground cornmeal with an eye for the future and a remembrance of the past. This led to a full line of desserts such as peach cobbler and pecan pie, cornbreads, and coating mixes. Today, Calhoun Bend Mill ships its products nationwide. We are proud to acknowledge the Lord as the Owner of our company. No decisions are made without first consulting Him. Because of His guidance, we have been blessed bountifully.
