A Rare Breed

Take the Stress Out of Your Meat

Raising stress-free bison is paramount to ensuring the highest quality of meat, and this principle lies at the core of our ranching philosophy. We minimize the stress and anxiety that often accompanies mass meat production. This translates into healthier, happier animals, which is not only ethically important but also has tangible effects on the quality of the meat they produce. In addition, your experience will also be stress free knowing where your meat is produced, what they’ve eaten, and how they’ve been treated.

Recently received our order of meat. The quality is unmatched and the pricing was incredibly low! Ended up being cheaper than a grocery store for way better quality. Can’t say enough about how easy it was to deal with True Grit and how happy I am with my order.

Great service! Being a man I didn’t really look up any information on True grit before I drove there. When I got there they were closed. Called and they drove down to open the store so I could get some smokies for a BBQ. Will return in the future when they are open. Lol

— Ron Malboeuf

I ordered my bison in the spring. It did not disappoint! Tastes just like beef without all the fat! I love how my burgers don’t shrink on the BBQ. I will definitely be ordering more this fall! If you want to support local and want high quality meat I suggest you give them a try!
