About Us
At a glance...
Rice Family Harvest is a family–run farm and orchard. We are Doug and Nancy Rice, and we and our family work very hard to bring you and your family the freshest fruits and vegetables of each season. Our farm is truly a labor of love: love for the land, love of farming, and love of fresh quality produce. Situated on 34 beautiful acres in Oregonia Ohio, we serve as a community provider of the freshest foods of each season.
With our diverse selection of fruits and vegetables, we and our family work hard to be a favorite to all lovers of fresh, local produce. We strive to bring to your family's table all the sweet tastes you crave – mouth-watering sweet corn, crunchy fresh picked apples, juicy peaches and all the other garden tastes you anticipate each year!
Healthy and Environmentally Responsible
At Rice Family Harvest we take seriously our responsibility to provide clean safe fruits and vegetables, while being a careful protector of the environment. Our family enjoys this produce too, so we are constantly researching and working with the Ohio State Extension and Conservation offices to use the best methods of integrated pest management without pesticides. Environmentally and health-friendly products that target pests at specific stages of development and pheromones that confuse insect mating cycles are examples of ways we can grow “gently.” We consistently follow organic practices and treat with items approved for organic growers.
