From Paddy to Mill
California Family Foods mills only the finest grade of Non-GMO medium and short grain paddy rice from local growers in the Sacramento Valley. We cultivate excellent relationships with our growers, offering seed financing and competitive green freight rates in order to attract premium raw product.

Product standards and customer specifications most commonly requested are USDA #1–4% or better.

A Disciplined Quality Assurance Program
The driving forces behind the high quality of our brown and milled rice are our resolute commitment to the highest standards of production along with a disciplined quality assurance program. Kathy Foster, Quality Assurance Manager, developed and currently oversees a meticulous quality assurance process that results in a premium product.
