Hominy

The First Nations have been growing and breeding the plant we know today as corn (or maize), for thousands of years. The process of nixtamalization is used for making the kernels of the plant more nutritious to produce Hominy.

Charlie Jacobs I founded Jacobs Farms because I wanted to leave a legacy that one day will pass down to my children the same way my father passed down to me. This is who we are, proud and united, we honor our ancestors and our land.

Corn Flour

The nixtamalization maize can then be grinded into flour used for boiled bread preparation or alternatively further cooked for the preparation of a traditional maize soup. Hominy prepared in this ancient fashion with carefully selected wood ash not only has a higher mineral content but serves as a superior gluten free product used in corn tortillas, bread etc…

Water

Jacobs Farms has been committed to providing safe, reliable, high quality, sustainable and affordable water services to our customers & community.

The ancestral state-of-the-art processing of Hominy makes the process not always reproducible and the knowledge is being lost by the young

members of the community. This is why I created Jacobs Farms to pass the knowledge handed down to me by my ancestors and help preserve

the ancient techniques.

To our knowledge there are currently no pilot or larger scale facilities that process maize into Hominy using the hardwood ash nixtamalization unit operation introduce by Charlie Jacobs to Agriculture Canada research.
