Buy Wild Rice From Moose Lake Wild Rice Company

Moose Lake Wild Rice sells wild rice that is 100% naturally grown lake and river wild rice from Minnesota and Canada. Family owned and operated since 1973, we sell hand-harvested premium rice that is grown in the wild of Minnesota and Canada.

If you're looking for Minnesota-grown or Canadian-grown Wild Rice, Please visit our online store to buy gourmet wild rice. We also sell pure maple syrup, wild rice pancake mix, fish batter and gift baskets containing a variety of gourmet products. The wild rice we sell is 100% naturally grown unless it is labled 'Cultivated'. Neither is certified 'organic wild rice' in accordance with the USDA regulations.

We are often asked what’s the difference between organic wild rice and cultivated wild rice.   "Real" or what many people call "organic wild rice" grows wild in the clear lakes of northern Minnesota and Canada. It is not genetically modified and has not been altered like some of the cultivated paddy wild rice that is available in grocery stores across the country.

The history of wild rice is an interesting one. It is an aquatic cereal grain that grows wild in isolated lakes and river bed areas located primarily within the continent of North America. This evolutionarily ancient grain has been found in layers of the earth dating back some 12,000 years. In addition to its role as an important food staple for ancestral peoples, it has provided a unique habitat for fish and waterfowl for thousands of years.  The methods used for harvesting wild rice have remained unchanged for centuries.  Wild Rice also has many uses, as a grain, as a folk medicine, in ornamental use and in cultural events.

What our Customers say about Moose Lake Wild Rice

Got it. Thank you, so much. You truly are doing all of your customers a divine service. That rice is so amazing. I've cooked for people who are totally convince that they don't like wild rice...they have no clue.
Again...thanks!
Sincerely,
C.A.

I received the rice package on Wednesday and tried out some of the wild rice immediately based on your cooking instructions. My wife is extremely happy with the rich flavor and earthy taste of this rice. We have been eating store bought wild rice mixes and this was a whole new flavor and aroma!! Waiting to try out some of your recipes from the booklet!
Thanks again!
Cheers,
L.K.

I received my order of wild rice yesterday and had a bowl for breakfast this morning. Thank you so much for the prompt delivery and the superior product. This is a hundred times better than the hard, black cultivated stuff and cooks in half the time. I'll definitely order from you the next time I run out.
Thanks again.......

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my inquiry so rapidly. I really look forward to receiving your Catalog and making my purchase and receiving my order. It's not every company who has such good PR as yours, obviously.
Most appreciated......

Thank you for the great quality wild rice. It is just the same as I used to eat growing up near Leech Lake. I grew up in Walker, MN, and we had a hunting cabin on Boy Bay (Blackduck Point) on Leech Lake. The basic recipe I usually use is cooking the rice with fresh mushrooms, celery and onion with chicken broth.

I bought wild rice for Thanksgiving- it was so delicious! When I was a child growing up in South Dakota, we had wild rice from Minnesota. And for many years, a friend gave me rice from Minnesota. But for the last few years, I bought wild rice in the store here in Illinois and cooked it. I was so disappointed! It did not look or taste like wild rice. Then I got the idea to go online and buy rice. I learned that the rice in the store is not real wild rice! I am so glad I found you! I have a few bags left and can't wait to use them!

We just got the package! Thank you for the fast fast transaction. We will definitely be back as customers! Thanks again.

Just a quick note to let you know my order, Fishing Fever Batter, Pancake Mix and the Natural Wild Rice arrived as promised, well packaged and without delay. This was the first of what will no doubt be many pleasant experiences with your product and your service. As far as the product goes, I am excited about trying both the Rice and the Batter but wanted you to know I got up early this morning (Saturday) and started the day off with a batch of muffins made with Terri’s Pancake Mix. Added a cup of dried Blueberries just for kicks and did a pan of thick sliced bacon to round out what turned out to be some of the best muffins I’ve ever eaten. My wife apparently agreed as she was very quietly consuming muffin’s and bacon while she read two newspapers and never said a word. Made for a great start to the weekend. Thanks.

This is a first time order for us. We have received it as a Christmas gift and enjoy it so much we had to have more.

Just a note to tell you how great it was to open the box of wild rice..being a native of Minnesota, the musty scent of the rice brought back memories of watching a harvest when I was a kid and the comfort of it cooking on the stove as my Mother dressed and made ready to stuff the pheasants from the corn field my Father brought in ... thank you! may you stay in business forever..

We recently received an order of five pounds of wild rice. I just wanted to make a few comments. Your web site and business is very well set up and is very professional. Our order was handled promptly, and we really like the true "wild" rice. My wife and I are originally from northern Wisconsin. We also lived in White Bear Lake and Ely, Minnesota. Our wild rice supply, which was harvested by my brother, has nearly run out. So I got on the internet and found your site--my new source for wild rice.

Wow, Terri and Charlie, Thanks for this delicious rice! My husband just loves it and eats it every day.
Your service was incredible, notifying us of processing, etc., and we received the product so quickly I was amazed.
Thanks,

I am writing to let you know I really like your wild rice.
I was used to some larger-grain wild rice from the nearby huge natural food chain store, probably cultivated, that seemed to take a long time to cook and ended up real chewy. This rice you sent cooks quickly, and has a delicately sweet earthy taste and crisp, tender texture. I had ordered 100 lbs, 50 lbs bulk and 50 lbs packaged.
I will be giving some 1 lb. bags as gifts this Christmas and they are very handy in the kitchen. I just busted into the bulk bag today and that's just as good.
Thanks so much, you had asked me to let you know how I liked it, especially since I was being so picky and asking a lot of questions. Well, I am satisfied now!
Sincerely,
P. L.

A friend of mine gave me a bag of Moose Lake Wild Rice some time ago. And I would like to know how to go about ordering some. I cut off the info on the bag plus the small white tag and took a picture so I could make sure I get the same kind. It was the kind that looked like tiny straw and a mix of something with it. When it is cooked it has white semi-circle in it. To describe the taste…well, it is heavenly. Very earthy and delicious!
Having been used to eating the little black wild rice from the groc store…there is no comparison. The Moose Lake Wild Rice is THE BEST. I want to order but I want to make sure that I order exactly when I am sending a picture of. I know there are different types of wild rice. But I am interested in the kind my friend gave to me.
I am interested in ordering 5 lbs of the 1 lb bags.
I need your help in ordering exactly the same kind.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

My order for ten (10) pounds of your wild rice arrived safely and in excellent condition this morning. I'm sure it will give us many meals of delightful eating. Your rice is probably the finest on the market. Thank you for your services.

We enjoyed our last order so much, we're doubling it this time..!!

I recently ordered 2 pounds of wild rice and just wanted to say "thank you" for the wonderful product. I cooked up a whole bag of the rice and put it in the freezer to use when I need it. It turned out perfectly and tasted delicious. I will definitely order from you again!
