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 was a vegetarian for years on moral ground, but a medical condition requires that I eat meat, and especially bone broth. I love that your products taste great, and I can trust that your animals lived real, natural lives, uninterrupted by the chaos of transportation, etc. Thank you for the integrity with which you raise and make quality meats available.

We were given a "Broken Heart Gift Box" as a housewarming gift when we moved to the west coast, and we have been buying various packages ever since. The quality of everything is incredibly delicious, nothing is tough at all. The meat is tender and fresh. Every order we've made came beautifully packaged frozen, on ice. We have some of the bacon in the freezer, and we are looking forward to having some! Especially delicious are the shanks. We made a delicious osso bucco!!! The ground bison makes the be's burgers and Bolognese sauce. We could not be more delighted with the products and the service from Wild Idea!!

The book Buffalo for the Broken Hearted was recommended for my buffalo - loving husband. We both read it and were compelled by the story. We ordered some buffalo and were blown away by the tastiness of your steaks. Now we are hooked. It feels good to eat food that is good for us, great tasting and good for the land.

Your bison is fabulous but it's hard to afford as much as we would like to buy. There have recently been several times when I get excited to see special deals advertised online but then I get sad when I see that you have to be a new customer to use it. I understand that you want to entice new people to try your products but I think you might be missing an important opportunity to reward the loyalty of returning customers.

I see buffalo products are getting more popular at our farmers markets. But if you ask how they are raised, either the seller doesn't know or they say it doesn't make any difference. One seller said they were grass fed, then finished on grain. Wild Idea Buffalo is up front about who they are, how they do business, and how the buffalo is raised. No if, ands or buts. Here is the kicker, if you buy a package, it is less costly than local grain fed bison. I love cooking, and I used a recipe from from "Smitten Kitchen" for the best beef barley soup with bison short ribs that we ever had. The Rib eye is meaty and flavorful. And it is good for you too. What could be better?
