& Our Products......  

• All of our bison meat products are 100% Bison (buffalo).  No beef, pork or other fillers added to our products. 

• Bison is a very lean, dense meat which is deliciously sweet and tender - not wild or gamey!  It's not dry or tough if you cook it properly - we have some great recipes and cooking tips to tempt your taste buds!  You can use bison in any of your favorite recipes that call for beef - it's usually as simple as adjusting the cooking time and temp a little bit so the meat does not overcook.  Welcome your family to the table with a savory buffalo stew or chili - satisfy a big hunger with a hearty buffalo meatloaf or your favorite lasagna recipe with lean bison instead of beef!  No fat to drain!
