Our family just recently purchased the Island Bison Farm<br />
in Beautiful Black Creek. We are excited to be here and<br />
be a part of the local farming community. Our bison are<br />
free ranging, 100% grass fed, and are free of any added<br />
hormones or antibiotics. You can purchase our tasty bison<br />
at many of the local restaurants, smaller grocery stores,<br />
and at the Farmers Markets. Or take a country drive up<br />
Hamm Road and purchase right from our farm gate store.<br />
Eat bison for the health of it!<br />
