The diversity of methods and equipment used by wild rice harvesters and processors along with personal and cultural perspectives, is reflected in our learning modules. Modules include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

a) benefits of wild ricing on individual and community health and economics\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

b) the\u00a0 natural history and ecology of wild rice<\/span><\/p>\n

c) technical skills for harvesting and processing wild rice<\/span><\/p>\n

d) historic and modern ways of cooking and building meals around wild rice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on traditional transfer of wild rice skills & knowledge, a group of expert mentors will provide firsthand experience as personal guides for young producers to learn wild rice harvesting & homestead-scale processing skills. For those who wish to develop their skill-set\u00a0 further, the apprenticeship program will give aspiring processors a deeper hands-on experience\u00a0 around the technical skills of processing wild rice as a business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Such work is of vital importance in the face of the challenges posed by climate change,\u00a0 environmental degradation and the current global pandemic. At a time of increased awareness\u00a0 around sustaining local food systems for food security and resilient local economic systems, the\u00a0<\/span> loss of wild ricing knowledge and processing capability must be avoided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our processing facility is not for profit, and is being designed to provide a commuity service for a small fee and a small minimum batch size, with the goal of expanding access and prioritizing area residents wishing to harvest for personal use.\u00a0 We do not sell Manoomin.<\/span><\/p>\n
