Our farm is located in the heart of the historic rice-belt region of Georgetown County, South Carolina, which has been famous for rice harvesting since the 18th century. The rice is harvested on natural and mineral-rich peaty fields with fresh river water that enhances the taste and gives an incomparable aroma. Per Dr David Shield who is Chairman of The Carolina Gold Rice Foundation, In the late 20th century Americans turned to aromatic rice. Whether it was the earthy perfume of Basmati (popularized by health food stores as early as the 1970s) or the floral splendor of Jasmine (made popular by the Thai restaurant boom of the 1980s), diners began ordering rice that excited the nose. Until this change in taste, Americans preferred non-aromatic rices–rices whose wholesome texture, ability to marry disparate flavors in Jambalayas and perloos, and subtly of flavor permitted them to be consumed day after day. Carolina Gold Rice was the non-aromatic standard for over a century. At the end of the 20th century Dr. Buford Merle Shepard of Clemson University and Dr. Gurdev Kush of IRRI collaborated in breeding an aromatic version of Carolina Gold. Using old school pedigree breeding techniques they created a short stature gold hulled rice with the traditional plush mouth feel of Carolina Gold, yet with the fragrance of an East Indian cool weather rice. Dr. Anna McClung refined the plant until it produced stable seed.
