White House Farms, LLC

White House Farms (WHF) is located in the heart of the historic rice-belt region of Georgetown County, South Carolina. Don and Hayden Quattlebaum took over the stewardship of WHF in 2011. They were drawn to the rich history of the land and the opportunity to reignite the rice- growing tradition of the farm. WHF is one of the largest single estate growers of Charleston Gold Rice and in the Fall of 2022 harvested its first crop of Santee Gold Rice. Charleston Gold is a firm textured, long-grain, aromatic rice, with a wholesome, nutty flavor and it is a superior variety developed from Carolina Gold - the heirloom variety that made Georgetown County one of the world’s largest and most renowned rice growing areas. Santee Gold is named for South Carolina’s Santee River and the rice is a modern nod to the historic and gold medal winning Carolina Long Gold. It is a natural cross between Carolina Gold and an extra long grain variety. It does not have an aromatic trait but it is nearly identical in taste, cooking and culinary quality as Carolina Gold, just with a longer grain.
