guiding better decisions for sustainable, productive farming.
Regenerative Farming Starts With the Soil
Healthy land is the foundation of everything we do. Through rotational bison grazing and on-farm research, we restore soil biology, improve water retention, and support diverse plant life — naturally.
- Builds living, microbe-rich soil
- Supports biodiversity and resilient pastures
- Produces nutrient-dense, responsibly raised bison
From Healthy Land to Nourishing Food
Everything we do is rooted in respect for the land, the animals, and the people we feed.
Regeneratively Raised Bison
Our bison are raised on open pastures using rotational grazing that supports soil health, biodiversity, and animal well-being.
Soil-First Farming
We focus on building living soil through on-farm research, cover crops, and grazing practices that restore nutrients naturally.
Honest, High-Quality Food
From pasture to plate, we produce clean, nutrient-dense bison with no shortcuts — just thoughtful stewardship and care.

How we herd the Bison?
We often get asked how we “herd” the bison. Most of the time we don’t. Bison will charge dogs & horses, if we need to bring up the rear we might use a vehicle, but more often than not we simply open the gate and ask them if they would like to move. The answer is always “yes”. • Bison are instinctively migratory animals and they know that an open gate means green grass.
