Native American foods from Winona LaDuke’s Native Harvest and her White Earth Land Recovery Project bring us wild rice, flours, dried corn all from the Anishinaabeg Nation in Minnesota . Winona is working with the state legislature to patent wild rice as an untouchable genetic in our food supply. Similarly, Tohono O'odham Nation in Sells, Arizona continues to harvest tepary beans and cholla buds. With the recent passing of Native American leader John Mohawk, Heritage Foods is evermore dedicated to reviving the Iroquois White Corn project in upstate New York.

The Pawpaw is the largest edible fruit that is native to the United States. Pawpaws are indigenous to 26 states in the US, in a range extending from northern Florida to southern Ontario and as far west as eastern Nebraska. They have provided delicious and nutritious food for Native Americans, European explorers, settlers and wild animals. Our Heritage pawpaws come from the rolling hills of Carroll county Maryland at the Deep Run Pawpaw Orchard in Westminister where Jim Davis has been raising these fruits for almost 10 years! The Pawpaw harvest season is from late August to mid-October.

Guajillo Honey is made from the Wild Guajillo Bush, a wild desert bush that is native to Southwestern Texas and Northern Mexico, a member of the "acacia" plant family. When the delicate pale yellow blooms briefly emerge in early April, the bees begin an intense rush to feed and gorge themselves on this "Native Nectar." The result is a single source honey, that is light, delicate, and subtly complex.
