“We are Indigenous food producers and live on the Fond du Lac Reservation of Lake Superior Chippewa. We come from generations of harvesters, food producers, artisans and entrepreneurs of wild rice, maple syrup and garden veggies. It is now up to the younger generations of the family to keep on harvesting wild rice and maple syrup and teaching their young ones. Only now, we combine those traditions with contemporary times.”
– Leah and Delilah Savage, owners
The Project
Grow Local Food Fund grant funds were used to purchase professionally upgraded and efficient equipment, like a double oven and 10 qt mixer, to expand opportunities that promote the indigenous culture through food.
