About Tidewater Grain Company

We are family farmers in Oriental NC. Our focus: specialty heirloom grains. Proud stewards of the land, we practice sustainable agriculture and are honored to have reintroduced rice farming to eastern North Carolina after a 125 year absence. We are totally hands-on from planting, harvesting, milling & packaging, to shipping to our customers. We love sharing recipes and educating consumers about the heirloom grains we grow. Our signature crops: Carolina Gold Rice & Santee Gold Long Grain Rice. Both available in white & brown rice, and middlins or rice grits. We also mill heirloom rice flour. This heirloom grain comes from a non-hybrid seed, making it a healthy choice and unique among most retail rice offerings. Our Carolina Gold Rice boasts a rich, nutty flavor. It’s versatile enough to be cooked as a light fluffy rice or a tasty sticky rice to use in risotto, soups or stews. Our Santee Gold Long Grain Rice is a long grain version of the same, with a lighter, more delicate texture. Try it in rice bowls and in your favorite recipes in place of basmati rice. Our Heirloom Rice Flour is simply our Carolina Gold Rice ground into flour. You’ll love the taste and crunch it adds as a breading for anything fried. And, it provides a delicious base for gluten free sauces and breads. Southern Breeze Seafood Breaders start with our Heirloom Rice Flour, each with a savory blend of herbs and spices, perfect for fried chicken, seafood or your favorite tempura. Read their story
