4Sisters Rice is shifting mindsets in the agricultural community and playing an integral role in Louisiana’s booming rice production industry. This women-owned, vertically integrated business strives to bolster the state’s economy and environment while sustainably bringing organic and natural rice products to family tables across the nation.
4Sisters Rice is more than just a business. It’s a family’s legacy, passion, and opportunity to make a positive impact on the agricultural industry. It’s a company that is steeped in Louisiana history and dedicated to its consumers, community, and the environment.
Food plays an important role in Louisiana’s culture and economy. This is particularly true of rice, which not only serves as a staple in dishes like jambalaya and red beans, but also contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the state as a top agricultural export. Thanks to an ideal climate and geographic location, Louisiana is the nation’s third-largest rice producer, and 4Sisters is among the chief contributors.
Although it may not have been available in retail outlets until 2020, 4Sisters Rice truly began with the start of the Kennedy family farm in 1964. With a long family history in Louisiana rice production and a father who has left a lasting legacy on the industry, the Kennedy sisters knew that they wanted to carry on the family business in a sustainable and meaningful way, improving not only the food they put on family tables, but also the land they farmed and the communities they served.
