Jerry Jondreau (Keweenaw Bay Indian Community) and Katy Bresette (Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), along with their family of six children, are getting back to the land to revitalize a traditional, clean foods culture, a reciprocal and healthy relationship with the land, and to rebuild a grateful community centered around amazing foods.

As Ojibwe food producers, every day our hands and our feet touch the lands of our  ancestors and honor what food truly is. Our arms push through the water, our hands  knock the rice. As we harvest, we re -seed and our responsibility to life is returned to our  home once again. The hands of the people tap the trees, haul the sap, and build the fires  that cook the sugar . In this way we honor the life that has been given, and the ones yet to  come, by our work and by our love.

Dynamite Hill Farms provides local, traditional Ojibwe food to communities near and far. They work tirelessly to bring healthy and sustainable food to local communities, while fostering sustainable living. They hope to revive local Ojibwe economies and understanding through the distribution of traditional Ojibwe food and the stories and teachings that come along with that food. Dynamite Hill Farms looks forward to helping people from all walks of life relearn what it means to live within and from a place through speaking engagements, onsite demonstrations, and workshops . Our products are gathered, harvested and produced in season. We do not seek to maximize profit, and therefore our products may be limited due to the season and the production that year.
