The wheat stalks were precious cargo of Honoré Farm and Mill, a California-based nonprofit organization championing heirloom wheat, regenerative farming, and whole grain education. In early summer, the Honoré team came to Rivian in search of an all-electric vehicle that could support a bold mission: hauling a 4,000-pound, custom-built stone mill from Vermont to its farm in the San Francisco Bay Area. More than just a journey to transport the stone mill, the Honoré team set out to inspire people to celebrate the roots of food, starting with flour. Driving an R1T with the stonemill in tow, the Honoré team made eight stops across the country to promote the importance of local grain economies through hands-on demos that covered heirloom wheat and regenerative farming. At Rivian, building community is core to our DNA, so we were honored to provide an R1T for the journey. With its 11,000-pound towing capacity* and a suite of sensors that detect weight and aerodynamics to calculate range and charging stops, the vehicle’s design is tailored to support journeys as important as this one.
