Cahokia Rice

Cahokia Rice is a family-owned rice farm and food brand based in Southern Illinois. Owned and operated by fourth-generation farmer Blake Gerard, the farm grows rice with a focus on nutrition, environmental care, and long-term stewardship. Its rice is non-GMO and has 53% more protein per serving than conventional rice, along with a reported low glycemic index of 41. The farm says its rice is tested after each harvest for heavy metals and meets European infant safety levels.

Cahokia offers higher-protein brown and white rice, available in 32-ounce bags, as well as larger bags for customers and wholesale buyers. Customers can order through the brand’s online store, with free U.S. shipping on orders of six 2-pound bags or more and on 25-pound bags. The website also provides recipes, farm news, product information, and a store locator. Cahokia uses regenerative and biodynamic growing methods where possible, aiming to support healthy soil, wildlife habitat, and sustainable rice production for future generations.
