Our rice is a long grain black variety, non-GMO, seed saved.
Phrao, one of Chiang Mai's mountainous rural districts is where we grow rice. Its microclimate, fresh mountain water and slightly acid soil make it highly suitable.
For crop year 2024 another site nearby the Doi Inthanon National Park will be added.
