Sorry, We Have NO Rice for Sale This Year

Very little wild rice was available for harvest again this year.  We checked several of our favorite lakes, and only harvested a very meager 15 pounds.  In recent years we have harvested 50-90 pounds and had enough to sell to our guests.  Weather conditions this year were not conducive for a rice crop.

I wish I had rice to offer, but we simply don't.  Hopefully conditions will improved in 2012.

 

Wild Wild Rice

Our rice was gathered by the Caithamer Family from local waters using traditional methods and finished (parched and cleaned) by a local man who learned the fine craft from his father.  Our rice is truly wild and that is why we call it "Wild Wild Rice."  Unlike the cultivated wild rice commonly available in stores, our rice has not been genetically modified, artificially fertilized, or treated with pesticides.  Wild Wild Rice is available in convenient 1 or 2 cup packages.  Price is $4.50 for a 1 cup and $8 for a 2 cup package.  We can ship anywhere in U.S. for a small additional fee (usually $5 per order). 


Jacob uses traditional cedar "knockers" to gather wild rice from a local lake.


Fresh, or "green," rice before it is parched and cleaned.


We offer rice for sale in convenient 1 and 2 cup bags.

A simple and delicious recipe for our wild rice:  rinse 1 cup rice with water, place 2 and 1/2 cups chicken broth and rinsed rice in pot with 1 diced onion, bring to boil, reduce to simmer, keep covered for about 20 minutes.  Yields about 4 cups.  If desired, add some slivered carrots or peas prior to cooking for a bit more flavor and color.  You will find that our rice is more tender and cooks in about 1/2 the time compared to store-bought rice.   Enjoy with fish, fowl, and other meats. 


100% Pure Maple Syrup

This is fine maple syrup made how their grandfather taught them.  The Simpson brothers collect sap from their sugar maple woods near Mikana, Wisconsin (about 40 miles from here), boil it down over a wood fire, then filter and bottle the delicious treat.  The product never leaves their control.  Some trees are tapped the old-fashioned way, like their grandfather did nearly 100 years ago in the same woods. Some are tapped with more modern methods.  Regardless, their syrup is the best

We offer the syrup in 16 ounce plain glass or 8 ounce decorative decanters; your choice $9.
