From historic museums exploring everything from our musical or spiritual heritage to how food gets to your table, along with outdoors from hiking greens to golfing greens, and shopping authentic main streets and arts, boutiques, antiques and uniques as well as a beautiful, cultural drive along our Zydeco Cajun Prairie Byway, enjoy the attractions of Acadia, Cajun Harvest Country.
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.
