Arborio Vermont-grown Rice (100% milled)

When you order rice directly from the farm, you have the ability to specify how you would like your rice milled. 

What does milling rice mean? 

After the rice has been harvested and dried, its next step is to be packaged as brown rice or for it to go through the rice miller/polisher. During the milling process, the rice’s husk and bran layer of the rice kernel is removed, effectively turning brown rice into half milled rice or white rice. All of our harvested rice, regardless of milling percentage, tastes great! 

At Boundbrook Farm we offer three options of rice milling:

Brown Rice - 0% milled

Half-Polished Rice, 50% milled

White Rice, 100% milled

We do all of our milling and packaging to order to provide the customer with the highest quality and best tasting rice possible. The tradition of milling rice is practiced by thousands of Japanese farmers that directly sell their product to the community in order to maintain this high quality.

(Please note that weight is lost during the milling process and that the actual net weight of fully polished rice (white rice 100% milled) will be 15% less than the amount ordered. Half-polished rice (50% milled), would be a 7% loss in weight.)
