Jason and I are happy to announce that we will have some rice for sale at our farm in Moncure, NC on October 30th. A dream we have talked about since moving here from Japan 3 years ago, was inspired after reading One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka and put into motion thanks to a RAFI grant. Thanks to many supporters and helping hands, we will have 150 lbs of rice available to our community. Although the yield is a lot less than we had anticipated we are very pleased with what we were able to achieve in our first year. The hardships we’ve endured during this experience have been far outweighed by the joys of eating this very special rice. We can’t wait to take what we’ve learned and do it again next year!
Description of our Rice:
Edible Earthscapes’ rice is a premium Japanese rice called Koshihikari. This short grain, brown rice was hand sown and naturally grown without the use of chemicals or intensive flooding. Each grain sparkles with robust flavor and delivers nutrition unparalleled by any other food. Each stalk was hand harvested and treated with reverence. We would like everyone who buys our rice to savor each and every grain. Thank you.
