| Australian Bio-dynamic 100% Rainfed Rice |
 Our Australian Biodynamic 100% Rainfed Medium Grain Brown Rice is grown by farmer Brett Slater and family on their 530 acre property at Fairy Hill, NSW. Brett grows and processes this 100% rainfed rice using his newly built mill, on his certified Biodynamic farm, eliminating any of those additional food miles!This rainfed rice rice is a special variety of rice called Tachiminori, which is a Japanese 'upland' rice that requires no irrigation, but does require warmth and high summer rainfall, perfect for the Northern Rivers Region of NSW. Absolutely no flood irrigation was used to grow the rice; it is 100% Rainfed! Until recently, all rice in Australia was grown in 'flood' irrigated paddies. Regular rice farming, according to the CSIRO, requires around 1550L of water to grow just 1kg of rice! With water being such a precious commodity in Australia today, thsi rice is not just packed full of goodness for us, but is great for our land too.  At Honest to Goodness we pride ourselves on our "Real Food" philosophy...that is pure, simple food, with no nasties added. And Brett Slater's 100% Rainfed Rice is a tribute to this!It seems we are not the only ones who love it...the rice was awarded a Bronze medal for "Best Pantry Staple Food" in the 2010 Organic Expo & Green Show Awards!
