For those of you whole have entered this site to obtain our wonderful hand picked wild rice I must send my deepest apologies. The fall 2007 harvest couldn't have been worse. Due to cold temps and the lack of sunny days in the fall, most of the rice crop never ripened. Most of us processors waited and waited thinking it would happen eventually but it didn't. Some areas did have better results than others but the supply just didn't keep up with the demand. We were able to obtain a fair amount of wild rice from our Canadian neighbors. However, this was not in the form of green rice so we did not process it. Because of that, it is darker in color and the cooking time will be roughly 45 minutes. However, the flavor is fantastic. Don't confuse this with the cultivated rice that many of you have tried. It truly is a different product and I'm very confident that you will find it to be truly delicious. I encourage you to try a small amount and see for yourself. You can be sure that in the fall of 2008 we will be diligently searching for enough rice to satisfy the needs of our devoted customers. Thank you for your patience and here's to a prosperous 2008.

100% NATURALLY GROWN
CANADIAN LAKE RICE
This long grained Canadian lake rice is found in the cool crystal clear waters of the Canadian heartland. It is still picked as it was years ago by native Canadian Indians using both traditional and modern methods. Most of the Canadian lake rice is now harvested using air boats similar to that found in the Florida everglades. Lake rice is harvested in the fall at the peak of maturity. It is specially processed to give it the best possible nutty flavor. The color is a bit darker than our normal Minnesota lake rice which will add to the cooking time, but it will be worth the wait. |
