Source for good quality grits in Berkeley/Oakland?

Does anyone know where I can find good quality grits (so, not Albers or Quaker) at a market in the East Bay? About six months ago I found Arrowhead Mills grits at Berkeley Bowl, but I haven't seen them there since, nor at Whole Foods or Andronicos. Where else should I check, or does anyone know a place that regularly carries good grits?

    I know this isn't in the East Bay, but I bought Anson Mills grits at Boulette's Larder in the Ferry Building. They're really good, but I'm a Yankee, so what do I know!

      Really? Thanks so much for the info, I could definitely head over to the Ferry Building for that!

        Anson Mills makes the best grits you can buy in the Bay Area.

          Librarian -

          You may be a Yankee, but you do recognize good grits. Anson Mills grits are pretty much the holy grail of grits.

          Thanks

          I'll be interested to see if anyone knows where to get good grits locally. I was born & raised in South Carolina, and am about out of the grits I brought back on my last trip to SC. I've had no luck finding good, stone ground (preferably heritage corn) grits locally.
