MISSION

"I have dedicated my life to preserving and restoring the Great Plains grasslands. These same principles are the foundation of Wild Idea Buffalo Company. By returning the bison to their native homeland, we're not only re-wilding a threatened ecosystem, we are keeping prairies intact, with carbon stored safely underground, and producing the healthiest red meat on the planet."

BEYOND ORGANIC

Raising buffalo humanely has allowed us to supply conscientious consumers with the delicious, healthy, 100% grass-fed meat they demand. We have left no stone unturned in our effort to “go beyond organic.” We treat our buffalo and their prairie ecosystem with the respect and care that both deserve. Our buffalo are 100% grass-fed/grass-finished, 100% antibiotic, hormone & pesticide free, and 100% humanely harvested. Our model of raising buffalo leads to a superior source of protein that’s good for you, the environment, and the animals. Learn More | Order

SUSTAINABLY RAISED

Our bison roam over large landscapes like their ancestors did, eating nothing but the grass beneath their feet. Their grazing patterns naturally regenerate the prairie, enhancing the level of biodiversity. The nutrient-dense prairie grasses they eat are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, producing a delicious, healthy red meat that that the body needs for optimum health. Unlike most buffalo on the market today, Wild Idea Buffalo are never feedlot confined or finished on GMO grains. Learn More | Order
