点评:I want to leave an amazing review because the family that runs this is lovely! They post beautiful things on Facebook about their family, their tourists, their industry and supporting local. Also, let me start by saying the Boudin and Cuban sandwiches were DELICIOUS! and worth every penny.
However, as far as other things go--- not worth driving 2.5 hours for.
In the store, there are samples of coffee, rice and seasonings. The coffee isn't theirs and it's only delivered once a month. So the flavor they had samples of weren't available in ground, only Kcups. Their rice was indeed tasty, but it's super duper expensive! They have a special sauce they sell that was really good! But! What we did not realize until we checked out is that it's almost $20 a bottle! Again, not worth it!
The tour is cheap for people to partake in. It starts with a 20 minute movie- that is dated and didn't talk about the cultivation of rice at all. Then a kind woman takes you over to the mill for about 15 minutes. She is softspoken though, so it was hard to hear what she had to say. She also talked more about local things in town than the rice company. Again, I feel bad leaving this kind of review... but we drove a very far distant to see the mill and it just wasn't worth it.
They say that they run the mill about once a week, but the men in my group didn't believe that it is still up and running. Cobwebs are everywhere, it's rather clean (not what you would expect from a mill that is producing) and the scale area had water bottles and trash over the belting that supposingly the rice falls through to get inside.
IF in the area, for the LOW price- it's a nice stop. However, I wouldn't go out of your way to come.
翻译:我想留下一篇精彩的评论,因为经营这家店的家庭很可爱!他们在 Facebook 上发布了关于他们的家庭、游客、行业和支持当地的美好事物。另外,让我先说一句,博丁和古巴三明治非常美味!物有所值。
但是,就其他事情而言---不值得开车 2.5 小时去买。
店里有咖啡、米饭和调味料的样品。咖啡不是他们的,而且一个月只送一次。所以他们品尝的口味不是磨碎的,只有 Kcups。他们的米饭确实很好吃,但超级贵!他们卖的特别酱汁非常好吃!但是!直到我们结账才意识到,一瓶要将近 20 美元!再说一次,不值得!
这次旅行对参加的人来说很便宜。它以一部 20 分钟的电影开始--这部电影很老套,根本没有谈到水稻的种植。然后一位好心的女士带你去磨坊,大约 15 分钟。不过她说话很轻柔,所以很难听清她说了什么。她谈论的也是镇上的当地事物,而不是大米公司。再次,我为留下这样的评论感到抱歉……但我们开车很远才去看磨坊,这不值得。
他们说他们每周运行磨坊一次,但我团队中的男人们不相信它还在运转。到处都是蜘蛛网,磨坊相当干净(不是你对正在生产的磨坊的期望),秤台区域有水瓶和垃圾,横跨在传送带上,据说大米会从传送带上掉下来进入磨坊。
如果在该地区,以低廉的价格,这是一个不错的停留点。但是,我不会特意过来。
