Why Grass-Fed Bison Makes a Difference in Taste and Nutrition

When it comes to red meat, not all options are created equal. At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we take pride in raising 100% grass-fed bison, and that makes a noticeable difference both on your plate and for your health.

Superior Taste

Grass-fed bison has a rich, naturally beefy flavour that sets it apart from grain-fed meats. Because our bison graze on natural pastures across our ranch, the meat develops a deep, robust taste that is lean yet tender. Whether you’re grilling a bison steak, making burgers, or slow-cooking a roast, you’ll notice the difference in every bite.

Unlike conventional meat, grass-fed bison doesn’t need heavy marinades to taste great. Its natural flavour shines through, making it a favourite for chefs and home cooks alike.

Nutritional Benefits

Grass-fed bison isn’t just delicious—it’s also nutritionally superior. Compared to grain-fed red meats:

  • Lower in fat: Bison is naturally lean, making it easier to fit into a heart-healthy diet.

  • Higher in protein: Perfect for building muscle or staying full longer.

  • Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: Supports heart and brain health.

  • Packed with vitamins and minerals: Including B12, zinc, and iron.

This means you’re getting a clean, nutrient-dense protein with fewer additives and a naturally lower fat content.

Ethical and Sustainable Farming

Our grass-fed approach isn’t just good for taste and nutrition—it’s better for the animals and the environment. By allowing our bison to graze freely, we raise healthy animals in a stress-free environment. It’s a sustainable approach that produces quality meat while respecting the land.

How to Enjoy Grass-Fed Bison

Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook, grass-fed bison is versatile and easy to prepare:

  • Steaks: Sear or grill quickly for a juicy, flavourful result

  • Burgers: Perfectly lean, yet satisfying

  • Roasts: Slow-cook to bring out tenderness and depth of flavour

  • Meal prep: Lean protein for healthy lunches and dinners

At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we make it simple to enjoy grass-fed bison. You can shop online for individual cuts or curated boxes, and we offer delivery in Edmonton and surrounding areas, Calgary, and Red Deer.
