Revisiting Spring on the Prairie
In late May, my family and I were fortunate to be able to spend several days on the Cheyenne River Buffalo Ranch, the land that is the heart of Wild Idea Buffalo Co.
Bears & Buffalo
A couple weeks ago, I had the chance to visit one of our sourcing partners' ranch, located along the Rocky Mountain front in Montana. The ecosystem on the Diamond 4D Ranch is still very much intact. Complete with the big predators such as, mountain lions, wolves and bears.
Teach Your Children Well
As busy goes, Jilian and Colton Jones have a lot on their plates. But, when a request comes in to help educate children, they pause and they seize the opportunity to share their knowledge of the prairie ecosystem and show them around the ranch.
Bringing Back the Beavers
Wild Idea Buffalo Company is more than a meat company, first and foremost we are an environmental company. In addition to our commitment of improving our environment and our food supply, we also work on restoration projects that consider all species.
The Dirt on Gut & Soil Health
It can be hard to understand or care much about things we cannot see with the naked eye. That’s just human nature. It’s curious to note that, at the time of writing this, major news and culture outlets are awash with posts about gut health.
The Ingredients of Wild Idea Buffalo Meat
What’s in the meat you eat? We have no idea, unless you are buying it from us. Our ingredient list is real simple: Fresh water, native grass and pure sunshine.
Eating Ethically to Save an Ecosystem
As private landholders, we, along with our sourcing partners, are trying to protect these prairie ecosystems for a healthy diversity of both flora & fauna. But we are not running a park; something has to pay the bills. Our humane field harvest helps keep our lands in balance, which in turn supports a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and a healthy, by-product of buffalo meat. This natural circle of life and food, for both animals and people, is the true meaning of regenerative and is most definitely ethical.
