ISO Anson Mills hominy grits in South Bay or Peninsula?

Would anyone know where I could obtain hominy grits (not polenta) made by Anson Mills on the Peninsula or South Bay?

The problem with ordering them online is that they require a minimum of 4 12-ounce bags per order, which is too much for my needs.

Thanks in advance!

    How much do you need? If just a bag or so, I live in Charlotte but might be coming out to the Bay Area in a couple of weeks. I can poke around when I'm out shopping to see if places carry Anson Mills around here. I know almost everywhere carries fresh stone-ground hominy grits, but it's available in such abundance that I've stopped paying attention to the brand.

      Thanks for the offer, mikeh! However, today a friend of mine was able to share the costs and goods with me on a mail order.

        If you haven't yet, try the Anson Mills shrimp and grits recipe...

            Yes, it is very yummy. Recipe I think makes 4 servings but DH and I ate the whole thing...

            By the way, one thing I really love about Anson Mills grits is that when you open the bag, they smell like corn!

      Since I cannot easily obtain these grits close by, I'm trying to gather some friends together for a group mail order, as a workaround.

        I'm not from your area, but have experience with them.

        Unless things have changed, they grind to order.

        I do not think you'll find them in brick and mortar outlets.

          We actually have had Anson Mills sightings at 2 local markets, Boulettes Larder and Rainbow, in recent years but not as far south as sairuh wants.
