Our rice varietals have their own story to tell. While all have been selected for their prized flavors, exceptional cooking qualities, beautiful colors, pleasing textures, and excellent nutritional value, each is imbued with the special characteristics of the lands where they are grown. This is the "terroir" of our rices. Terroir is a French term that denotes the unique traits of geography that bestow individuality on a food product. It can be loosely translated as "a sense of place." Elements that make up the terroir include climate, topography, soil conditions, and the craft of the grower. We hope you will enjoy getting to know the stories of our rice and our farmers.
