The Finland Wild Rice House regrets to announce that we will not be processing rice this season due to circumstances beyond our control. We are deeply sorry for the significant inconvenience this will cause our customers and community members. The processing facility and equipment will no longer be housed at its previous location. We hope to have everything up and running again in its new spot for the 2025 season.
Below is a list of area-processors, including the last updated MN DNR list. Currently, our list is very short, and we seek community input to help with networking. If you know of any processors to add to our list or have a small operation willing to take in a few more people, please email meghan@friendsoffinland.org
Here is a link to a facebook group that was created as a platform for ricers to communicate and network with eachother about harvesting and processing: to find or share condition updates, ricing partners, info on area processors, or to combine rice to meet shop minimums.
Please check back here for updates or feel free to email any questions to the above address.
