Red Mule Grits

I have known Tim and Alice Mills for a very long time and I never tire of chatting with them at their in-town farm on the Northeast side of Athens. They are salt-of-the-earth people who understand the community of food. Luke is their 18 year old mule who, as Tim will tell you, is a "helper", not a "motor". That mule weighs 1200 pounds. Big helper.
