About White House Farms

"PLEASE NOTE: purchases cannot be relisted for resale on marketplaces such as Amazon or Walmart." White House Farms (WHF) is located in the heart of the historic rice-belt region of Georgetown County, South Carolina. WHF is one of the largest single estate growers of Charleston Gold Rice and in the Fall of 2022 harvested its first crop of Santee Gold Rice. Starting in the 18th century, the peaty, muddy tidal fields at White House Farms have produced rice that is uniquely flavorful and redolent of the Lowcountry terroir. The rice fields endured more than two centuries of wars, hurricanes, even the Great Depression and these insurmountable hurdles eventually ceased rice production at White House – until now. WHAT VARIETIES OF RICE ARE GROWN AT WHITE HOUSE FARMS? Charleston Gold Rice and Santee Gold Rice. Charleston Gold is a firm textured, long-grain, aromatic rice, with a wholesome, nutty flavor and it is a superior variety developed from Carolina Gold - the heirloom variety that made Georgetown County one of the world’s largest and most renowned rice growing areas. Santee Gold is named for South Carolina’s Santee River and the rice is a modern nod to the historic and gold medal winning Carolina Long Gold. It is a natural cross between Carolina Gold and an extra long grain variety. It does not have an aromatic trait but it is nearly identical in taste, cooking and culinary quality as Carolina Gold, just with a longer grain.Read their story
