From Our Family Farm to Your Family's Kitchen

For four generations we have been farming this land, and as a father and son team we’re carrying on our family’s legacy to grow some of the finest rice in the world.

You’ll find our farm nestled in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California surrounded by rich soil, fresh water and plenty of sunshine. To the north the majestic Mount Shasta towers like a snowcapped diamond shining brilliantly over the entire valley. To our south stand the quaint Sutter Buttes, known as the smallest mountain range in the world. To the east, the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains host the rising sun, watching it pass over the vast California sky until it hides behind the sprawling Coastal Range. From dawn to dusk the sun gently kisses our land, allowing us to be one of the finest places on earth to grow rice.

As some of the only farmers who grow, mill, and pack their own rice, you will know exactly where it comes from and how it was grown - responsibly, sustainably, and with the utmost love and care.
