LundBerg
Back in ‘37, Grandpa Albert and Grandma Frances traded Nebraska and the Dust Bowl for Northern California and irrigation (a real game-changer). Their motto? “Leave the land better than you found it.” We’re still following in their footsteps.

LundBergA Real Farm and A Real Family
Soil Health
We’ve never been afraid to grow our own way. In the 1940s, other farmers laughed at Grandpa Albert for plowing rice straw into the soil and growing cover crops instead of just lighting his fields on fire (really). But Grandpa Albert wanted to build soil health and protect air quality. Turns out, he was about 50 years ahead of the curve!
Organic Farming
Call us the OGs of organic. In 1969, the second-gen Lundbergs planted their first crop of organic rice. By ’73, Homer Lundberg and 53 other local farmers were launching California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF)—setting the standard for organic long before it was cool (or even federally recognized). Trendsetters? Maybe just a little.
Biodiversity
California rice fields are for the birds—literally! Each winter, we flood some of our fields to replicate our region’s natural wetlands. We also grow cover crops, which provide nesting habitat for ducks. So, each spring, before the tractors start rolling, we rescue the eggs by hand. So far, we’ve saved an estimated 30K of the fuzzy little quackers!
