Riffle Farms Grass-fed American bison meat. A veteran-owned small business operation tucked in the wild and wonderful mountains of West Virginia.

Co-Owner & Operator Jimmie Riffle was born and raised in Grafton, WV. Jimmie has always loved the outdoors and began exploring beyond WV as a teenager. His travels with friends took him one winter to Jackson, WY where he fell in love with the sights, snow, and the bison! Jimmie met his wife, Liz, while the two of them were active duty Navy Nurse Corps officers in Bethesda, MD taking care of Wounded Warriors. Their first vacation together was to none other than Jackson, WY. Liz fell in love with Jimmie, the sights, the snow, and thought he wasn't serious about the bison! Two years later the couple went back to Jackson to get married, and Jimmie wasted no time talking up some local bison farmers and meat processors to hone his own dream of having a bison farm. Liz jumped right in next to him! Now three years later, Jimmie and Liz are the very proud owners of a 64 acre bison farm located in Terra Alta, WV. This veteran-owned, small business is primarily run with fervor by Liz while Jimmie finishes up his career in the Navy. They hope to open the farm to the public and have their first meat harvest in the Spring of 2018! There are plans of a mobile "Bison Burger Bar" and barn venue in the years to come.

Jimmie is trying to make a new friend…

Not sure the calf is on board with his method…and mama ain’t happy! (You can hear her in the background)

👉 make sure you have good bison handing and separating facilities

The issue here is that we have had a ton of rain and moisture, which can cause a proliferation of parasites…and heavy parasites loads cause bison to lose serious condition. Bison are what we would call “parasite naive” as a species. These animals evolved roaming large swaths of land, if they are brought to the same ground within even 90 days—parasite infection becomes possible.

Now I wish I had hundreds of acres, but I don’t. So we selectively deworm to manage our parasite loads + rotate pastures as frequently as possible + rest pastures as long as possible.

Adventure is for the young at heart.

Ten West Virginia friends and a few family members who got pulled into the adventure, plus one wild river through the most remote area in the lower 48!

Jimmie disappeared into the Idaho wilderness for the kind of trip you talk about for the rest of your life — good friends, cold water, big country, no cell service, and stories that I’m sure will get progressively less accurate every time they’re told. 😂

And somehow he, my dad, Johnboy, and Uncle Kelly ended up looking like they belongs on the cover of Outdoors Magazine 👉 here’s your inspo Outdoor Life Outside Magazine Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine Highland Outdoors Magazine

Old friends. Family. Wild water. Technique taught in And one hell of a story to bring home. 🏔️🛶
