Our story

Rice the way Bengal used to grow it.

Who we are

We started Nobanno to bring back the rice we grew up with

The polished, perfumed rice in city shops tasted nothing like the kalijira our grandmothers cooked. So we went back to the fields of Naogaon.

Today 60 farming families grow for us. We buy every harvest at a fair price, mill it slowly in small batches and clean it by hand — and we do the same with gur, chira and dal.
