SORA is a non-profit to promote conservation, education and research for natural wild rice in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There is no membership fee, it’s set up to connect people who are engaged in wild rice harvesting, educate those who know very little about wild rice and to serve as a gathering place for wild rice education. Join us at saveourrice.org.
Here are some photos showing how wild rice is hand-harvested, but there’s nothing like getting out there and trying it yourself!
