What the maker says
Kenyon’s says it still grinds its meals and flours in its 1886 grist mill on the Queen’s River in the village of Usquepaugh, Rhode Island, using the original granite millstones quarried in Westerly, Rhode Island, and that meal has been ground on the site since 1696.

Caveat
Kenyon’s says it buys grain as locally as it can, but it does not claim every grain is grown in Rhode Island. Parts of its site still list events from past years, so call before planning a visit.
