It’s no secret that Louisiana is known for good food and good times. Down here, many of our memories start at the dinner table. Friends and families gather to talk about their day or plans for the evening while enjoying a good meal. A meal that starts with rice and ends with comfort of being surrounded by loved ones.

We believe a meal like that is the cure to being homesick when you move away. It’s the staple of a recipe that generations will pass down and create new stories around. Rice is the main ingredient to any meal that is made with love.

And the only rice that’s grown with love is Cajun Country Rice.

Free mill tours are available for groups of 10.

]]> Gravesite of Charlene Richard, “the little Cajun Saint.”

Charlene was born January 13, 1947. After being diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia, she died on August 11, 1959, at the age of 12. During her confinement in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana, Charlene would offer her prayers and suffering to God each day for the benefit of others.
“She was a faith-filled little girl,” said Fr Joseph Brennan, a priest for the Diocese of Lafayette, who was serving as hospital chaplain and ministered to Charlene during her final days.

Charlene Richard is well on her way to achieving sainthood as a result of the many who believe to have witnessed miracles after praying for Charlene’s intercession.  Every year, pilgrimages are made to her gravesite by those who believe that she might heal them.
