A half-pound bag of manoomin (Ojibwe for wild rice, or “good berry”) traditionally wild-harvested from several lakes and rivers located within a 50 mile radius of the Fond Du Lac Reservation and Ceded Territories and processed by local Fond Du Lac Band members.

“Native Wild Rice is known as a good medicine in Ojibwe tradition and is a highly culturally significant plant as it plays a big role in the Ojibwe story of traveling to the place ‘where the food grows on the water’ and settling here in Minnesota.”
