Wild Idea Buffalo is unlike any other meat company. We began with a vision of actually improving the eco-system of the Great Plains. Our buffalo are raised on the wide open spaces of South Dakota where they eat only the native grasses beneath their feet. They spend their whole lives roaming freely on thousands of acres, and never see a feedlot or slaughterhouse. The result is better lives for the bison, the restoration of over 100,000 acres of the prairie, and sweet, delicious red meat that is actually good for you. Not such a wild idea after all!

I have placed three orders with Wild Idea over the last few years. The first order was received with everything I ordered. The last two orders were incomplete, and I had to ask for a refund. I think the issue is someone in the shipping end of the operation does not double check on what is in the box. Also, I did not receive a shipping statement within the box. To me it would be a simple fix.

I am a fan of buffalo meat--healthier than beef, so was happy to find this co. I ordered a sampler which included much from steaks to ground beef. I am gradually using all, but am saving the steaks for special nights. They are above restaurant quality! Now that I am a fan, I will order specific items, like the buffalo bacon and certainly more steaks. This a real find for me; a true red meat lover. I was also happy with the shipping. All meat was frozen and there was a minimum of disposable packing material. I plan to place orders every other month.

I love the quality of meat and feel good about the humane harvesting of the animal is the most important to us. We eat more veg than meat and have stopped all meat except for bison

great product and packaging
By Diane
We ordered a quarter and a steak sampler package. Everything was delivered on time and packaged well. Only reason Im not giving 5 stars is because on their online ad they promise a steak with first time purchase and never received that in either of my orders. Tried to call with no luck or response after leaving message.however meat is wonderful and everything it says it should be.

Response from Wild Idea Buffalo Co· Sep 21, 2015
Hi Elena, We appreciate your order and support! We received your review and wanted to let you know we never received the promo code for the free NY with a first time purchase. There is a box on the right hand side during checkout where discounts and promo codes are entered, if not we have no idea you received one. Our sales office is open from 8-5 PM MST, Mon-Fri, and we respond to voicemail's first thing in the morning. I do apologize that you were unable to get through to speak with a sales associate and I am unsure what the issue was, however I did bring it to my managers attention. I hope the remainder of your order is satisfying and please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions. Have a good week! Very Best- Cori
I love that I can get 100% grass fed meat that was handled ethically. My only issue is that shipping all the way to North Texas is *almost* too risky without paying for express delivery. Large cuts of meat were still mostly frozen, the smaller cuts almost totally thawed, and the bacon and sausages were 100% thawed, but still cold. I also discovered yesterday that my local grocery store carries Wild Idea, and the prices are significantly less. $21.65 vs $15.49 for a 10 ounce Ribeye. I know they are accounting for shipping, but that is a significant difference, so in the future I will buy it from the store. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and customer service was excellent.

I know the title of my review might seem dramatic at first but I had stomach cancer a ways back and I needed vitamin drips and supplements and it was very expensive. This meat is nutrient dense that if I have a couple livers a week and a steak or two... I'm not deficient any more. I get a spectracel test each year that tests all your vitamin levels. Wild Idea rocks!'! Thank you :))
