Hand Harvested Minnesota Wild Rice – 1 lb

This is wild rice the way it was always meant to be harvested. By hand. From a canoe. On a northern Minnesota lake at dawn. Our Hand Harvested Minnesota Wild Rice is collected using the traditional knocker method — two people in a canoe, knocking ripe grains into the boat, taking only what the lake offers. No machines. No shortcuts. Just the ancient relationship between people and this sacred northern grain.

Known to the Ojibwe people as manoomin — the good berry — hand harvested wild rice carries a story that goes back thousands of years on these same northern lakes. Each bag is different because each harvest is different. Natural variation in size and color is not a flaw — it is proof that this rice was touched by real hands on real water.

Every bag is stocked and bagged in house by hand. Not in a warehouse across the country — right here. Every single bag.

How To Cook It

Low and slow. Bring your liquid to a boil then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook 45 to 55 minutes until the grain opens and curls. Natural variation in grain size means some pieces may open slightly earlier — that is normal and beautiful. Drain any excess liquid. Fluff with a fork and let rest five minutes.

Stay wild. Stay equipped. All Trails Lead North.
