Harvesters work in their own time and we pay fair prices by the pound. Approximately 75 individuals bring plants in between June and August. Harvesting can be a livelihood, a family activity or bonus money to spoil the grandkids with a trampoline, and a way to connect back to the land. 90% of harvesters are Indigenous and most work on family traplines or traditional territory.
We work with communities across the north including Ile a la Crosse, Jans Bay, Cole Bay, Beauval, Stanley Mission, La Ronge, Air Ronge, Lac La Ronge Indian Band, Hall Lake, Weyakwin, Deschambault, and Pelican Narrows. We process and package everything locally with our full time and seasonal staff.
We would like to humbly and respectfully acknowledge that Boreal Heartland operates on Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 territories. Traditonal and Ancestral lands to many Canadian indigenous people such as the Woodlands Cree, Métis, Plains Cree, Dene, Inuit and Saulteaux.
