Wild Rice Bed Lease
True Wild Rice is actually a variety of grass, and very different in look and in taste from the black cultivated "wild rice" mixtures usually sold in stores. Pure, natural, uncultivated wild rice is tan in color, cooks in half the time of paddy-raised "wild rice", and has an incomparable nutty flavor. Tribal members of the Ojibwe Lake Reservation Tribal Council will hand-harvest this uncultivated wild rice for you. Using long forked poles, the harvesters bend the rice stalks into the canoes, where the "knockers" beat the ripe rice kernels off the stalk. The rice kernels that fall into the water now become the seed for next year's harvest.
