Northern Latitude Foods | Coeur d’Alene Wild Rice: Looking for something gluten free? Wild rice is naturally gluten free and the perfect addition to your Father’s Day meal. It’s also considered a SuperFood full of antioxidants, B vitamins, iron, fiber, protein and is also a low glycemic and an anti-inflammatory food. Our products are simply all around healthy, tasty, and nutritious! Wild rice is good for the environment too, because the plant helps to keep the lake clean, feeds the wild life, and is wild harvested. That means nature grew it, and we are just taking a small portion of it and leaving the rest to fall into the lake and plant its seeds for next year. Stop by and enjoy one of nature’s best foods that is native to North America.

Blue Wildrye Farm: Our bacon is so popular that almost all of our pork belly ends up cured and smoked. But each year, I quietly set aside about one pig’s worth of fresh pork belly for customers who appreciate this remarkable cut in its own right.

That means fresh pork belly is available only briefly—and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

With Father’s Day weekend coming up, this might be the perfect excuse to try something a little different. Whether Dad loves grilling, smoking, barbecue, or adventurous cooking projects, pork belly has a way of turning an ordinary meal into an event. We encourage you to pre-order to guarantee you get the Blue Wildrye products you want. Order cutoff for Saturday market pickup: Thursday at 11:59 PM before market day.
