Partner Profile Lundberg Family Farms is a family-owned and operated farm committed to growing and producing organic rice and rice products in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California. Lundberg's eco-positive farming ethic has guided its soil enrichment, water management, and wetlands preservation initiatives, and made renewable energy a natural fit for the company. Lundberg Family Farms's purchase of approximately 4,800 MWh per year of California wind-derived renewable energy certificates is enough to cover the electricity needs for its entire operations. Lundberg puts the Green-e logo on product packaging, including its new Rice Chips, and the company plans to have all packaging brandish the Green-e logo in the years ahead. In addition, Lundberg has spread the word about green power through coupons in its power provider's renewable energy customer welcome kit, displays and posters at industry trade shows, and media coverage. Lundberg's purchase represents the largest U.S. renewable energy commitment by an agribusiness and stands out as the first mass-market consumer product to place the Green-e logo on its packaging, making Lundberg an important market trendsetter.
