Ground Bison

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.

Ground Bison

America’s Original Red Meat

A naturally strong animal with a hardy immune system, Bison never need antibiotics or hormones — they grow at their own pace on the land, grazing on sweeping pastures of natural grasses and sedges. Blackwing bison live stress-free and are raised and managed in ways to preserve their natural instincts and behaviors. This way of living translates to the health and taste of the product — it’s mild, never gamey, and full of rich, buttery flavor similar to that of beef. Ground Bison can easily be substituted for any recipes that call for ground meat, and makes for delicious protein-packed chili or burgers.
