California is the ideal growing region for rice, yielding over 8,000 pounds of rice per acre, thanks to its long-standing, dedicated farming families, fertile soil, ideal growing temperatures and pristine water from the Northern California mountains. Our relationships with growers range from Colusa, Glenn, Sacramento, Yuba, Sutter, Butte and Yolo counties.
