Bison are an excellent source of high quality, lean protein. They are raised humanely and ethically on family farms and ranches, contributing to the sustainability of the entire food chain. Plus, bison meat is lower in fat and cholesterol than traditional beef, making it a healthy alternative for those searching for healthier options.
When you purchase bison products, you are directly supporting small family farms and helping to sustain a rural landscape that has been around for centuries. These farmers work hard everyday to ensure the health of their herds and ultimately provide high quality products with nutrient dense nutrition.
It's easy to see why bison has become so popular - its flavor profile is similar to that of steak, but it has a more robust, gamey taste. Whether grilled, roasted or pan seared, bison makes any meal into something special - so celebrate National Bison Day by trying some unique bison recipes!
