Unlike other wild rice brands that are blended from many different growers and locations, Goose Valley Natural Foods, focuses on selecting the plumpest Grade A wild rice strictly from our own ranch. Our rice is gluten free whole grain and high in fiber and protein. Our rice is grown in rich volcanic soil and watered with the purest spring snow melt to provide for the best wild rice we can make.
Goose Valley Natural Foods, LLC was co-founded in 2009 by George Denny, whose family has ranching and farming operations on 42,000 deeded acres in Northern California; and Barbara Mattaliano, a former teacher and private chef who developed the brand and product line. Today, Goose Valley Farming, LLC is the country’s leading grower of certified organic and natural wild rice. This grain, native only to North America, is cultivated without exposure to pesticides of any kind and irrigated solely by the area’s snow melts and local springs making it 100% natural. Now joining the company’s Certified Organic and Natural Wild Rice ingredient product line are Certified Organic and Natural Wild Rice Puffs, and Certified Organic and Natural Premium Light Brown Rice.
