"Short grain brown rice is one of the most full-flavored rices. After cooking, the grains are soft and cling together. Because of these properties, short grain brown rice is especially suitable in recipes where a creamy texture is desired, such as puddings, rice balls, croquettes, paella and risotto.
 
"Purity You Can Taste:" Lundberg Family Farms has been growing healthy, high quality, great tasting rice in Northern California since 1937. Our rice is grown using organic farming methods from prior generations and innovations from today. Our highest priorities include improving the soil while protecting the air, water, and wildlife.
 
Rice straw is returned to the soil after harvest (instead of burning) to enrich the soil and protect the air and the environment.
We use only approved organic inputs to grow organic rice.
Our crop rotation practices include utilizing nitrogen-fixing crops for soil enrichment.
Lundberg Family Farms does not grow genetically engineered rice varieties.
The fields provide valuable habitat for a variety of animals. Migrating waterfowl inhabit flooded fields during the winter - they provide natural fertilizer and aid straw decomposition.
We practice water-conserving irrigation.
We purchase green power for our handling and processing facilities.
