Wild Idea Buffalo

Several years ago in an issue of Cooking Light they featured a company that sold Buffalo (Bison) on

the web. At that time I had just been diagnosed with Diabetes 2 and I needed to make changes in my eating habits. One major change I made was switching over from Beef to Buffalo. I made several changes in my eating habits but this was a major one! I was Hamburger and Steak eating machine, and still am but using Wild Idea Buffalo. Below are some Buffalo vs Beef facts and a little history on my favorite, Wild Idea Buffalo. Be sure to check their site out!


Wild Idea meat is lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than chicken or fish. It’s higher in protein than beef. Our 100% native grass-fed meat delivers 3.5x more antioxidant omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed buffalo. Try the red meat that’s good for you!

Prairie restoration is vital to our mission. Our land and animal management practices are as close to nature's intentions as possible. By giving the buffalo room to roam, the Great Plains prairie is brought back to health. Grasses, forbs, and flowers flourish, providing a sustainable ecosystem for all life. Our vision of sweeping landscapes where the buffalo roam continues to grow, and we are now affiliated with other like-minded ranchers, including Native American ranchers and Nature Conservancy herds, positively impacting over 150,000 acres of grasslands.


MISSION
The foundation of our mission is preserving the Great Plains ecosystem by returning buffalo back to their native homeland.

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, hormone/antibiotic/pesticide free, 100% free roaming, and always humanely harvested. Our model of raising buffalo leads to a superior source of protein that is healthier for the consumer, the environment, and the animal....

SUSTAINABLY RAISED
Our bison graze like their ancestors did, eating nothing but the grass beneath their feet. The nutrient-dense grasses they eat produce a delicious, healthy red meat that is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids 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 corn. Additionally, our buffalo restore the wild land they graze to a greater level of biodiversity.......
