Support for Rice in the Northeast

My partner and I have a Kickstarter project going to help fund the expansion of our rice growing project.  We want to build an acre of paddies this fall to be planted next spring.  One of the rewards we are offering is a Rice Growing Workshop that will take place late april/ early may next spring.  If you want to help support locally grown rice and come learn how to grow it yourself then head on over to our kickstarter page http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/840980225/growing-rice-in-vermont
Thanks
