Oh WHEW!!! They are licensing the name and the product. The farm business is tough and without an eager next gen to take it over, I’m glad they can just sit back and enjoy their retirement.

It’s always sad to see an heirloom grain fade away and I’ll miss her garbanzo beans but good for them for getting theirs farming is a hard business

I’ll buy a bag of rice for the memories
