DINING & SHOPPING Locally Made There are a number of locally-made products in Sunset Country you may want to bring home with you. These include a tasty delicacy like wild rice, many locally-grown vegetables available at our Farmer’s Markets and dress wear such as moccassins, mitts and many others. Egli’s Sheep Farm in Minnitaki is a must stop for locally-produced goods. These products are not available anywhere else than in Sunset Country so if you want something truly unique, this is it! Fresh Walleye One of the biggest treats for visitors from outside the region is the opportunity to taste fresh walleye caught from one of our many thousands of lakes. While the traditional shore lunch is the penultimate experience, many of our local restaurants and lodges also offer freshly caught walleye as part of their menus. The firm texture and freshness of the fish you eat up here is something you won’t believe until you actually taste it. Mouth-watering doesn’t adequately describe it! 72 | 2016 Sunset Country Guide Gift Shops There are many one-of-a-kind gift shops scattered across the many small towns in Sunset Country.

Craft Beer The rise in the demand (and thirst) by consumers for everything craft beer has not been over-looked in Sunset Country. We have two locations currently producing locally-made craft beer. The Lake of the Woods Brewing Company in Kenora has several brands they can offer their customers. We even have a lodge – Eagle Lake Island Lodge – that has an on-site craft brewery where they serve various types of craft beer.
