Buddy's Mercantile: Minnesota Wild Rice, Local Jam, Soup, Coffee & More!

Buddy’s mercantile was founded 20 or so years ago by Burton Sveine. In the beginning it was called Buddy’s Wild Rice and mainly sold various types of Minnesota and Canadian wild rice. Some was machine parched, some hand parched. All hand harvested by Native Americans along the shores of our many lakes. Over the years, Buddy has added many types of jelly and jams, as well as soup mixes, natural locally produced maple syrup and honey, pancake mixes, homemade soaps, and dry packaged foods.

We are taking a big step by building a new store. The front will be retail space, while internet sales, shipping, and storage will be in the rear. No need to find us across town or down some back road....we are moving right next door! Parking will be provided along side the building. We now plan on adding many new products to our store. Some will include local coffee roasters, various hard rock candies and local artist's greeting cards.

Stop in and see what's new as you come through Two Harbors, MN on highway 61. Sit on the covered porch and talk to Buddy about life and don't forget to replenish your supplies on-line. Have a Rice Day!
