A New Source of Healthy Protein

Roger Gerber of Blackwing Meats always had a passion for healthy and delicious protein options. He started the business in 1996, initially raising ostriches, a surprisingly nutritious red meat, before expanding to offer bison a few years later. Recognizing the growing demand for health-conscious alternatives, Blackwing now partners with around 40 independent farms throughout the United States, including several in the Amish community.

Blackwing has grown to become a leading provider of North American Bison, a rich, flavorful, and one of the healthiest protein sources available. In addition to bison, Blackwing offers a variety of lean, antibiotic-free game meats, including venison, elk, wild boar, and more. Raised on lush pastures or responsibly trapped, these 100% grass-fed and naturally sourced meats provide a clean, rich flavor, all without antibiotics or hormones—perfect for those looking for nutritious and flavorful alternatives to traditional meats.

Crafted for Consistent Perfection

Bison has become a chef favorite for a reason. Its naturally lean profile, tender texture, and subtle sweetness deliver remarkable flavor without excess fat. Fossil Farms open range herds produce meat prized for its consistency and purity, making it easy to prepare restaurant quality meals at home. From cast iron sears to slow roasts, each cut cooks beautifully and rewards precision, proving bison is not just better for you—it is better eating, period.
