Red Lake Nation Foods, a local tribal-owned company recently purchased Minnesota-based company Minnestalgia and is currently utilizing Harmony's Commercial Kitchen in order to keep production flowing while RLNF's own processing facility is completed. Harmony has carried products such as jellies, jams and syrups from both Minnestalgia and Red Lake Nation Foods for many years and is proud to be able to provide a commercial space for this work to continue uninterrupted! Seen in the attached photos: Mike Burr, long-time jam & syrup producer with Minnestalgia is processing wild chokecherry jelly for Red Lake Nation Foods.
ABOUT THE LOGO: The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians logo is the symbol of our nation; our sovereign nation. The design represents many things. The shape of the upper and lower Red Lake has been our trademark due to its unique shape and what it means to us: fresh water and food (walleye). The circle represents the powerful “circle of life” for ours and countless other tribes. Unity without end. The trees mark our dependence on them for shelter, transportation, warmth and many feelings of belonging to the land. The feather of the eagle is also a powerful symbol to our tribe. The eagle’s heartbeat is echoed in the drum beat of practically all tribes. The clan symbols from left to right are the bear, turtle, bullhead (fish), mink, eagle, pine martin (sable) and the kingfisher. (Source: redlakenationfoods.com)

Harmony Co-op’s dedication to building strong community partnerships is truly inspiring. Their efforts to collaborate with local organizations not only strengthen the community but also promote growth and mutual support. As someone passionate about creative industries, I believe such partnerships can also benefit small businesses like embroidery digitizer, who rely on local connections to thrive. Supporting local artisans and embroidery digitizer services through these partnerships can add unique value to community projects while encouraging sustainable development. Harmony Co-op’s commitment to fostering meaningful relationships sets a great example for how businesses and communities can grow together successfully.
It's great to see Harmony Co-op supporting local businesses like Red Lake Nation Foods by allowing them access to their Commercial Kitchen. Partnerships like this enhance neighborhood bonds and promote sustainability. A research article writer for publication could assist document and disseminate the impact of such cooperation more generally.
