Northwind Bison

08/23/2026

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.

Please visit our website for contact information and pricing.
