It's Bison Time!


I am in the process of ordering another bison and I wanted to give you the opportunity to order some meat as well.

Why eat bison?
-Bison has less fat than chicken and turkey.
-Bison has a healthy Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acid ratio.
-Support local farmers and small businesses. The bison meat I order comes from a small family farm outside of Rose Valley Saskatchewan. The butcher is also from Rose Valley. The animal is grass fed and never goes to a feed lot. This is incredibly important for both ethical and practical purposes. The pre-slaughter environment of the animal is critical to the tenderness of the meat; the less stressful the environment for the animal the more tender the meat. The animal is killed on site and the animal does not have to undergo the stress of being transported to a feed lot. Also, the health benefits of grass fed bison in comparison to bison that are fattened up at a feed lot are numerous.

If anyone is interested let me know via email.

  1. count us in. oh i was suppose to email you. oops i misused the blog. but i'm just proud of myself for getting here with a profile.

    Here's a bison recipe i invented last night.

    cut up a rib steak into nice chunky pieces removing the bone and the sinew parts.
    coat them with your favorite rub. I used one called Caymen Citrus.
    put the steak in a baking dish
    add a 1/4 cup of beef stock, a 1/4 cup red wine.
    drizzle choke cherry syrup over the steak.
    bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
    delicious.

    you could braise this slowly at 275 over a longer time period....but i haven't done that experiment yet.
