By Amanda Balagur Apr 22, 2020, 05:45 AM EDT | Updated Apr 23, 2020 If you can't visit the grocery store during the coronavirus pandemic, these brands will mail you their treats. The coronavirus pandemic has placed extra stress on grocery stores, which are struggling to respond to an increasingly complex situation. Many supermarkets and delivery services aren’t able to keep up with demand, and many customers aren’t able to go out in public to pick up their own food. But there’s good news: Many small businesses have stepped up to offer doorstep delivery for the foods and beverages they produce. And it’s been mutually beneficial for both their business and for consumers. On March 15, for example, Pig of the Month BBQ founder Lea Richards let her customers know that her business would be offering free shipping on orders in all 48 contiguous states, with no minimum required. The response yielded greater sales numbers than Black Friday. “We were just sitting there, shocked,” Richards recalled. “It feels like a lifetime ago.” Seeing a real need, she quickly contacted her suppliers — local farmers, all located within two hours of Dayton, Ohio — to ask for bulk raw meat to help meet the new demand. Across the country, other online food retailers are working to keep Americans safe, well-fed and entertained. It turns out to be a potentially win-win situation: Eager customers can support small businesses and get some of the most drool-worthy products delivered to their doorstep in return. Wondering where to begin? HuffPost has put together a helpful list of some of our favorites. Online Retailers That Deliver Food To Your Door 4Sisters is a women-owned family venture based in Louisiana. It recently launched an online store to bring their U.S. Department of Agriculture-Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, Kosher and sustainably grown long-grain white and brown rice to your doorstep via two-day express delivery (shipping included). Check their website and Instagram feed for inspiring and easy recipes, like baked rice pudding, Keto lamb fried rice, cheesy chicken broccoli bake and creamy chicken and rice soup.

By: Lisa Freedman EXECUTIVE LIFESTYLE DIRECTOR Updated Mar 30, 2021 My grandmother (my late father’s mom, whom we called Bubbie) owned and operated a cake decorating and hobby shop my entire life. I used to spend every single Saturday in the store with her, folding pie boxes, counting out and bagging lollipop sticks, and sorting icing tips. She had one (grown-up) employee, but she ran this store entirely on her own for decades, and I remember always being incredibly impressed by her. She could tell people why their cakes were coming out too dry, order 1,000 pounds of chocolate wafers, and ring someone up all the same time — without breaking a sweat. Sometimes, very early on (I wasn’t even old enough to use the cash register at this point), I wondered how many other Bubbies were running their own businesses. I never got an official count, but I did learn the lesson that it’s important to shop at women-owned businesses. It was important back then and it’s definitely important now. In honor of International Women’s Day (March 8) and my Bubbie, I bring you this list. I compiled it by polling Kitchn editors and looking at my previous credit card statements. It’s by no means comprehensive or even a small percentage of the women-owned businesses out there: It’s just a small way of celebrating women, today and every day. 4Sisters Rice The four sisters (it’s not just a clever name!) who founded 4Sisters Rice grew up on their father’s rice farm and work now to continue their f amily’s legacy. Today, their company farms more than 25,000 acres of rice in Louisiana...

Editor’s note: Kellogg recently announced InGrained™ — a $2 million, five-year program to work with Lower Mississippi River Basin rice farmers to reduce their climate impact. The focus is a reduction of methane – a greenhouse (GHG) gas that’s 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. In 2022, Kellogg will pilot InGrained™ with Kennedy Rice Mill, LLC in Northeast Louisiana. The mill’s owner and president, Meryl Kennedy, shares with us what InGrained™ will mean to her farm and its 150 employees. By: Meryl Kennedy, Owner and President, Kennedy Rice Mill, LLC

By TYNE MORGAN January 13, 2023 The global tech industry gathered at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this past week to see the latest and greatest in technology and this year, agriculture took center stage. What’s traditionally been a show geared to consumers is one agriculture is playing a bigger role, and as Farm Journal discovered, the interest in agriculture’s story became a resounding theme. From driverless vehicles to a flying car, CES was full of the latest technology and a few surprises. One popular attraction was at the John Deere booth. Not only was each area of the display equipped with farming facts for consumers, the company also served up the chance for attendees to meet- and speak- with real farmers. “We actually are a vertically integrated company–we take rice from the farm to a finished product. And we even have our own brand now called 4Sisters,” says Meryl Kennedy, a farmer in northeast Louisiana. Kenny and Travis Senter of northeast Arkansas, were just two of the farmers in Deere’s CES display, answering questions and pulled back the curtain on production agriculture today. “The biggest question is this machine that we're standing behind autonomous?” says Senter. “The other question is, on my Operations Center, all those all those machines that are on there, are they autonomous? So, I guess the big factor that they're looking at is autonomy.” Deere and Company kicked off CES as the keynote speaker–a first for agriculture. And as Deere presented, the company pointed out farmers were sitting in the audience. The crowd gasped in response, proof that to CES attendees, the chance to meet real farmers was rare...+
