"Carolina Plantation Rice comes to you from Plumfield Plantation on the Great Pee Dee River. Plumfield is the first colonial plantation in the Carolinas to grow rice for commercial sales in over 100 years. Longtime staple of the Southern diet, longtime favorite of the Southern palate, this special grain has an aroma and taste that can't be found in any other variety. With rice once again in her fields, Plumfield Plantation has brought a delicious piece of Carolina History back to the dinner table. Order a bag of this fine historical food today! Carolina Gold Rice In 1685 a distressed merchant ship paid for repairs in Charleston with a small quantity of rice seed from Madagascar. Dr. Henry Woodward planted the seed, beginning South Carolina's 200-year history as the producer of ""Carolina Gold"", a plump grain whose fame quickly traveled throughout the Colonial world and overseas as well. Unfortunately, most of the Carolina Gold available on the market today has been grown in the Gulf states, not in South Carolina. We thought that was a shame, so Carolina Plantation Rice is now proud to offer certified South Carolina-grown ""Carolina Gold""... a rice only truly authentic when grown here in the Carolinas."
