If you’ve attended Natural Products Expo West in the last decade, then you’ve probably noticed Great River Organic Milling’s booth. A perennial exhibitor, the Wisconsin-based stone-miller, co-packer and consumer-facing brand is well known for its premium organic flour, bean, pulse and rice products. While the company’s core ethics and commitment to sustainability haven’t budged, Great River has lots of exciting news to share at this year’s show.
In June 2023, the business was acquired by Enrich Foods LLC, a newly created division of Columbia Grain International, one of the largest global suppliers and traders of bulk grain and pulses. Along with scaling up Great River’s current organic offerings, the company is pioneering regenerative farming systems that yield more sustainable food products at affordable prices.
Now the first fruits of these efforts, Great River Milling Climate-Friendly Certified rice, will debut at Expo West. Funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program, these retail-ready products carry a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional rice—and they have hard data to prove it. Impressed, New Hope Network named Great River Milling Climate-Friendly Certified Long Grain White Rice a NEXTY Award finalist in the pantry–pasta, grains and rice category.
