Ralston Family Farms is a vertically integrated operation. This means that we control our product from the seed that is placed in the ground, all the way to the package that is placed on the shelf.

1. Family Owned & Operated

Ralston Family Farms is a single family farm offering only the rice that we grow. We are not a co-op and this is not a commodity. It is the legacy of generations of farmers who have passed down a love for growing good food. Just about all of us work here on the farm, day after day, to make sure our customers reap the benefits of this farming legacy.

2. Unique Size

Our farm is big enough to feed the country, but not so big it can't be managed by the family. Every decision is made with the big picture in mind- a food safety and quality culture that enhances the life of our customers and gives back to the environment. From marketing, to web design, to crop rotation, all of our choices run through the filter of family.

3. 100% Seed to Shelf

Our farm and mill are located on the same land. We are a one-stop shop, meaning those who till the ground are the same as those who plant the seed and harvest the rice. After harvest, the rice is dried in our grain bins and milled by our hands on-site. It is packaged just a few feet from where it was prepared and shipped to your home or store from our loading docks. We know exactly which field your rice came from, in fact, we can trace it back from the very carton that is in your pantry. We think this is pretty special and don't mind saying so. 

4. Environmental Friendly Packaging

Doing what is right for the environment means thinking of our product from beginning to end. This is why we package our rice in a revolutionary, 100% recyclable carton that you can feel good about purchasing. Our cartons are a completely biodegradable paper product that is easy to use, easy to store, and easy to pour.

There are many choices about which rice you can purchase, but the question is "What story does my food tell?" If your food is a forecast, we believe you should have the very best. Try us out and see what you think.
