Since 1932, the Ramy family has offered only the finest quality wild rice available anywhere in the world!
Roy Ramy, our founder, would spend weeks in the north country in late August and early September, the "Month of the Wild Rice Moon."
He would stand on the shores of the water eagerly awaiting the return of his canoes weighted down with the harvest. He kept only the best wild rice for his customers.
The Ramy family continues this tradition today: only the best rice, meeting our demanding standards. It is how we have assured our customers the highest quality products for 80 years!

WHAT WE MEAN BY 100% WILD WILD RICE
And how our Wild Rice is different from what you find at your local grocery store
100% NATURALLY GROWN, HAND HARVESTED LAKE WILD RICE
Machine Planted and Cultivated Wild Rice
The natural environment of wild rice (cold, deep and clear water) makes machine planted and cultivated wild rice difficult to efficiently produce. While many steps are taken to try to improve production, it is much smaller in size, is a shiny dark color, and has a less "nutty" flavor.
Ramy’s Signature Long Grain 100% Naturally Grown,
Hand Harvested Lake Wild Rice
"Ramy's Signature Long Grain" wild rice is 100% naturally grown in only the cool, pristine waters in an unspoiled North Country private lake. Created by Mother Nature and untouched by human hands until harvesting, it grows in very limited quantities. Spoil yourself, your family or a friend with the gift of Ramy's Signature Long Grain wild rice. The extra-large size, an unparalleled flavor, and a very limited availability truly makes our 100% Wild Rice an exclusive Wild Rice selection.
MACHINE PLANTED AND CULTIVATED WILD RICE
VS
Long known as the "Caviar of Grains", wild rice is not a rice, but actually a grain. It grows naturally and wild in the cold lakes and rivers of Minnesota and Canada, but in such limited quantities that there is less than 1 lb. available for each 100 people in the United State. Now considered a delicacy throughout the world, wild rice was once known only to Native Americans and still holds very special meaning in Native American culture.
During late August and early September - the Month of the Wild Rice Moon - the rice is harvested by hand. A canoe is used in this process. One person will use a pole to push through the tall reed-like grass while another person will bend the grass over the edge of the canoe and strike it with a stick. The ripened grains fall and collect in the bottom of the canoe. Then using various techniques the rice is processed for use and sale.
We at Ramy Wild Rice Co. offer you only naturally grown, hand harvested, lake rice. It is what our family prefers, we are confident that your family will as well.
Long before the North American continent was settled, wild rice was a staple used by Native Americans of the Great Lakes region and Upper Plains. The rice was gathered by floating a canoe through shallow waters, bending the grass that contains the grain over the canoe and striking the grass with a stick. The ripened grains would fall and collect in the bottom of the canoe. It was then dried in the sun and used in their cooking. Today, except for a special proprietary method we use in the cleaning and processing of the wild rice, our rice is gathered in the same way used by the Native Americans of earlier days. Our special growing areas assure our customers and us a unique product - one in which we feel you could search the world over and never find an equal!
