Northwind Bison

And just like that .. no more anxiety about this gate getting left open. 😂

The pasture is empty, and the last bison are all gone to their new home. Certainly a bittersweet thing, but honestly... Mostly sweet. With gratitude for all of it, we look forward to moving on. 🙏🏼

The last of our meat is selling quickly - our final market date will be September 12, with whatever we have left! Our shop will close permanently after that.

Thank you again for all your support! 🤍

When it all began... small kids, and a small herd. Almost 8 years ago now; it's hard to believe!

We feel it is time to publicly announce a shift in our life plans - we have sold the bison herd and just shipped our last meat stock for slaughter this week.

Once we have sold the remainder of our meat, we will be closing the doors to the bison shop permanently. What a ride it has been!

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for your support over these years. We have met a lot of incredible people and certainly experienced a lot of incredible things. We have nothing but gratitude for this little adventure, and we also very much look forward to the next chapter of our lives.

In the meantime, stock up on bison meat while you can! Visit us at the Palmerston Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings (we will not be there August 29), or check out our farm store by appointment.
