Know Your Grower: Doguet's Rice Mill
Did you know? The rice in your boxes each week is locally grown & processed in Beaumont, TX. The family-owned farm & mill has a deep legacy and tradition in Texas rice farming:
The Doguet family’s legacy in rice farming began with their great-grandfather, Arthur Ardoin, in the 1920s. Guided by this tradition, their father, Darby Doguet, fostered their expertise in rice warehouses, seed rice business, and rice milling. In 1979, Darby founded Doguet’s Rice Milling Company, which blossomed into a full mill by 1981.
Today, Mike Doguet and Debbie Doguet Robbins uphold the legacy, joined by Debbie’s son Greg Devillier, who now serves as Vice President.
