Welcome to Goose Valley
Family-owned Goose Valley Ranch is nestled high in the Cascade Mountains, south of Mt. Shasta. Only Goose Valley Wild Rice comes from just one location - Goose Valley. Other wild rice brands are blended from the output of many growers and locations.
Sustainability
We are constantly trying to improve the quality of Goose Valley’s soil, water, and air for future generations. We use the minimum amount of external inputs in our farming practices and recently invested in two solar power generating facilities. When there is normal snowfall in the winter, the ranch’s solar facility and small hydro plant on Goose Creek produce more electricity than we use in operations – we are net generators of electricity. We use barley straw not herbicide to control moss and algae in our irrigation system. We will continue to improve our practices as new innovations become available.
